Плагин Matter связывает систему Larnitech с Matter в обе стороны:
- устройства Larnitech появляются в Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa и SmartThings;
- устройства Matter (в том числе новые, подключаемые по Bluetooth) добавляются в Larnitech и доступны в приложении, сценариях и Blockly.
Плагин работает на самом контроллере. Облако и дополнительное оборудование не нужны.
Поддерживаемые контроллеры
DE-MG.C, DE-MG.plus.C, DE-MG.knx, DE-MG.dali, MF-14.C.
Installation
- Make sure the latest versions of LT Setup and LT Server are installed.
- In LT Setup open the Plugins tab and find Matter bridge.
- Press Install. When the installation is finished, press Enable.
- Open the plugin page. It shows the bridge status, the pairing QR code and the list of devices.
Adding Larnitech devices to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings
- Open the Matter plugin page in LT Setup.
- In the smart home app press Add accessory (Add device) and scan the QR code from the plugin page, or enter the manual pairing code.
- Larnitech devices appear in the app, together with their current state.
Matter supports several controllers at once. To add a second app (for example, Google Home next to Apple Home), press Open commissioning window on the plugin page and scan the same QR code within about 3 minutes. The QR code and the pairing code never change.

Adding Matter devices to Larnitech
- Open the Matter plugin page in LT Setup.
- In the Pair Matter device form enter the device pairing code or QR code (
MT:…). - A device that is already in the network is found over the network. A new or factory-reset device is found over Bluetooth, and the plugin passes the Wi-Fi settings to it.
- After pairing, the device appears in Larnitech as an item.
A pairing code shared from another app expires after a few minutes. If pairing fails with "Could not connect to device", share the code again and repeat.
Troubleshooting
- The plugin page says "The Matter bridge does not answer": the service is still starting or has stopped. Wait a minute and press Reload. If it does not help, disable and enable the plugin.
- Apple Home shows the bridge as "Not Responding" after a reinstall: the pairing data was deleted. Remove the bridge from Apple Home and pair it again with the QR code from the plugin page.
- Removing the plugin keeps its settings and pairings. They are deleted only on full removal (purge); after that all apps and devices must be paired again.
