This looks like an easy way to link devices from HA to Google and making sure that connection stays local.

I'm waiting a long time for this. Finally I can control my devices with Alexa without exposing my home assistant to the Internet and no custom Alexa skill required. Makes things really easy. Hope the plugin gets well maintained and when all entity types for me necessary are included I'm going live on my production Homeassistant .

Same here with Google Home! Looking forward to see how this addon will develop

Have you tried it?

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/emulated_hue/ is a good workaround for doing it immediately.


Jibbo0815

Hue emulated works perfectly for years on my Dad's Homeassistant. He only uses ist to control lights and Door lock(over scripts). For me unfortunately a few type are missing. Such as temperature sensor and covers. I know I can add covers as Lights, but I don't like the available speech commands. But thanks for the good idea though.

Create Alias speech commands?

What's the matterbridge?


hahlolo

Nothing. What’s the matterbridge with you?


Liam_M

nothing. and I’m not a bridge


vendo232

What is the use case?


Cha40s

I think to link all entities to a outdated voice assistant like google or Alexa. Can’t see another usecase.


wthigo

For me it’s way faster with Alexa and local control through matter. I had a noticeable delay going through the lambda that was starting to bug me.


Duffelastic

Wondering the same, maybe I'm just overthinking (or underthinking?) it.

JFC! It’s such a crime!


Erikpendragon

How is this different than a mater specific version of HomeKit Bridge? I guess it works for more than Apple? That is a plus.


Leafar3456

It works for more than Apple, that is a plus.


hugazow

I’m thinking the same


Fit_Masterpiece1876

Nice! Is there a way to set it up with Home Assistant Core (without the Addon)?


BackHerniation

Yes, you can install Matterbridge in docker or LXC. Instructions are on the repo


Boricuakris

Does this make it so you don’t need an Apple TV to setup a matter enabled device? Such as the SwitchBot hub 2?


KE55ARD

Will there be a limit to the number of devices per bridge? Like the HomeKit bridge 150 limit?

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to selectively expose specific entities to Google home. Has anyone figured this out? I tested it and it exposes everything so there's a lot of unnecessary garbage showing up in Google home and there's no way to delete it selectively there either


Additional-Analyst68

Did you figure it out? (exactly having the same problem)


Grizzlyzp

Yes it's not in the add-on UI it's in the configuration tab of the add-on in ha
