Matter

This page is WIP!

From beta 2026.1 domoticz has a Matter integration based on matter.js server (https://github.com/matter-js/matterjs-server)

Matter.js server

For the matter integration to work you need a running matter-js-server (setup with docker: https://github.com/matter-js/matterjs-server/blob/main/docs/docker.md)

docker-compose.yml example

services:
  matterjs-server:
    container_name: matterjs-server
    image: ghcr.io/matter-js/matterjs-server:latest
    read_only: true
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data

Navigate to the docker compose directory (as example) where the matter.js docker-compose.yml file is created.

cd docker/matterjs-server

Start the server

docker compose up -d

View logs

docker compose logs -f

Stop the server

docker compose down

When running with default options the UI should be available on port 5580 of the server eg http://192.168.1.123:5580

Thread Border router

If you want to use the wireless standard thread, that is needed for e.g. the new Ikea devices, you need a Thread-border-router.

There are many thread border routers available.

The commercial ones:

• Apple TV
• Apple Homepod
• Google Nest Hub
• Amazon Echo dot
• Ikea dirigera (newest version)
• etc

Then there the open source ones:

• Openthread border router (ESP) https://openthread.io/guides/border-router/espressif-esp32
• Home Assistant ZBT-2

Domoticz hardware gateway install

When matter.js is running you can add in Domoticz the Matter Hardware gateway and fill in the IP and port of your matter.js server eg 192.168.1.123:5580

Using Matter with Domoticz

Devices paired to the matter server are also being added to Domoticz and can be controlled from Domoticz User interface.

There is a setup button next to the Matter hardware in Domoticz that you can use, and you can also use the native web interface of the matterjs-server docker container (eg http://192.168.1.123:5580)
