Open Home Foundation Matter Server
![Matter Logo](docs/matter_logo.svg)
The Open Home Foundation Matter Server is an officially certified Software Component to create a Matter controller. It serves as the foundation to provide Matter support to Home Assistant but its universal approach makes it suitable to be used in other projects too.
This project implements a Matter Controller Server over WebSockets using the
official Matter (formerly CHIP) SDK
as a base and provides both a server and client implementation.
The Open Home Foundation Matter Server software component is funded by Nabu Casa (a member of the CSA) and donated to The Open Home Foundation.
