[RELEASE] Matter Advanced Bridge (limited device support)

csteele · February 18, 2026, 8:03pm

HPM, as modified by @mavrrick58, uses the 'Beta Switch'* as the signal to display/use the beta tags in the JSON or not.

It's my read of the merged Beta revised HPM code that if the user has selected Beta for your specific Package, then HPM only 'sees' the Beta tags: betaVersion, betaReleaseNotes and betaLocation. I can't see any reason the versions being the same would have an impact, since technically the 'opposite' is never seen. If you don't have Beta selected, then HPM only sees: version, releaseNotes and location. We certainly know that works without confusion about Beta Tags, that have been allowed in the JSON for years.

* 'Beta Switch' is the combination of enabling Beta and selecting the specific package. I want to make sure it's known that allowing Beta is a two action task.

The ability for bundles to be recognized as a manageable individual item was added just in the last couple versions. I believe i may have missed something with the upgrade check that is performed for bundles.

I have seen this same thing with my integration so you are not the only one.

For drivers, apps, and whole packages it seems to force a flag that uses stable release files when the version values are the same.

I will be looking at the upgrade routine to see if i can fix this. Until then the easiest way to work around it would be to simply increment the beta to a higher version then stable.

After acquiring a Moes Matter Bridge and a couple of Kasa Smart Plugs (Matter), I started to play with this technology.

After too many trials and error testing, I’m not going anywhere.

I am guessing that the very first step is to create a Virtual device, naming it Moes Matter Bridge, and then assigning it as a Matter Advanced Bridge type.

After creating this virtual device, I am pressing Run button under the Commands tab on the Discovery Devices option, but after a few seconds all I get is the following message

Am I missing anything?

Help appreciated.

Edit: Moes Bridge is properly recognized by my Unifi UDR router.
Also have an Apple TV 4K

Did you join the matter bridge to the Tuya or Smart lIfe app first? If not you do so. Then use the app to generate a 11 digit matter code. Sorry don't know the steps for this but you can Google that part. Use the code the app created and go to add device on Hubitat and matter device. Then in the area to enter the code enter the 11 digit code that you got from the Tuya or Smart Life app.

Then the system will generate a device for the matter bridge. Then go into that device and set the driver as the matter advance bridge driver and save it. Then on the commands page select discover all and the matter advance bridge will discover your devices and create chile devices for them inside Hubitat.

I already did join it but to the Moes app.

Should I join it instead to the Tuya app?

LearningHubitat · March 16, 2026, 3:07am

Go into the settings on the Moes app and see if there is an area to generate a matter pairing code. If there is then that will work from there.

rgr · March 17, 2026, 1:23am

I already tried both options, with no luck.

Moes does have an option to generate a matter pairing code, but then it doesn’t work.

Tried with the Tuya app with same results.

I keep getting this message

I already tried commissioning my devices with my apple Home app, with same results.

And Hubitat won’t discover my Moes Matter gateway.

LearningHubitat · March 17, 2026, 3:43pm

Just to make sure I am understanding correctly when you go into the Moes app on your phone you are choosing your gateway device and then going into the settings of that device and generating the matter code?

The warning you are getting seems like the Moes app is not commissioning the gateway to be shared by matter.

kahn-hubitat · March 17, 2026, 4:34pm

any update on getting the setting to lmit illuminance reports?

@kkossev

I took it upon myself to implement a version that throttles the illum/lux report using ripped off code and the same method you used for the tuya 4-1 driver..

the modified main driver (all that is required is here)

Got it!

I use an iPad for mostly everything I do with Hubitat.

All the time I have been trying to do this on an iPad, with no luck, and now I did it on my iPhone and everything worked perfectly.

I hope not too many people will try this on the wrong device.

Thanks so much.

Btw, did everything on the Moes app, and it created by itself the Moes matter gateway at the Tuya app.

kkossev · March 21, 2026, 7:30pm

@kahn-hubitat thank you for your contribution!

I have merged your code to the main branch, version 1.7.8

HPM is updated as well, but I still see a problem with the BETA versions enabled, so at this time, probably the better update method would be to use HPM 'Repair', or manually import the main branch Bundle: https://github.com/kkossev/Hubitat---Matter-Advanced-Bridge/raw/refs/heads/main/MatterAdvancedBridge.zip

kahn-hubitat · March 21, 2026, 8:39pm

repair seemed to work fine.. thanks again

TArman · March 31, 2026, 3:49pm

Can someone tell me what these two preferences are for and what values i should be using?

@kkossev

jw970065 · April 9, 2026, 9:16am

Even if I update the HPM, the update information comes up again. It seems to be a problem with the developer version.
I wonder if this is an error in HPM or something else.

Tagging @kkossev about last two questions.

Kulfsson · April 11, 2026, 3:49pm

I am trying to enable this for my Dirigera. Currently I only have 4+1 (5) bulbs (2 types) enabled, and this driver/connector will only discover 1 type. I wonder what can be done to get the others discovered?

It will discover the Tradfri Zigbee bulb, but not the Kajplats Matter bulbs.

ymerj · April 11, 2026, 4:34pm

That is how this works. The Kajplats are allready Matter devices. As such, they should be added directly with Hubitat. Have the Dirigera generate a Matter pairing code and add the device to HE through the add Matter device page.

user4742 · April 12, 2026, 2:32am

If/when you get them added to Hubitat via Matter, I'd be curious to hear whether they stay linked for you. Mine will work for a day or two after being paired that way before Hubitat loses connection to them.
