Platform Version: 2.4.3.177
Hardware Version: C-8 Pro
What is the correct way to request support for new matter device types? I recently added the Shelly EM Mini Gen4 to my hub and the closest built-in driver appears to be the Generic Matter Outlet device type.
I would like to formally request that support for a power monitoring only device driver be added to the platform. I can provide any information needed.
@mjarends if you need the energy to be reported via Matter from your Shelly EM Mini Gen4,
you can try this community package (MAB). The disadvantage is that because this package is designed to work mainly with Matter Bridges, it will always create child devices, which is not very convenient. But it will work as a temporary solution, until Hubitat comes with a fully featured Matter Energy inbuilt driver.
Thanks for providing the alternative solution. I'm assuming that in this case since I don't have a Matter bridge, I would just change the Shelly's device driver to the MAB driver and an appropriate child device would be created under the Shelly device.
