Known Matter Advanced Bridge driver issues
- Performance may not be optimal because of the huge state variables. Optimizing the speed/performance will be the project's second stage after the BETA release.
- As the bridged devices are created in Hubitat as child devices, these can not be shared via Hubitat Mesh and can not be used in the HE Swap app.
- Locks can not be controlled.
- Button events are not received.
- No composite devices (a temperature and humidity sensor will create 3 different child devices - T, H, and battery device).
Known Hubitat Matter platform limitations and issues :
- initialize() method is called on every Matter error - resulting in multiple subscriptions to one and the same attribute.
- unsubscribe() resets all Matter connections - results in re-subscribing all other Matter devices connected to the same HE hub
- Hubitat is not notified when a Matter device has been reset (powered off/on) - the subscriptions (automatic reporting) are lost!
- Matter interface status (operational/failure) can not be checked by the driver - it is unknown whether the bridge is online or offline before sending a ping command.
- Subscription to Matter events does not work - this prevents buttons/scene switches supprot in Hubitat.
- There is no decoding of the Maatter complex data structures - Hue bridge rooms as example can not be imported.
- Hubitat parser for some matter messages throws exception java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - the effect of this problem is unknown.
- Matter writeAttribute commands do not work link
