Matter devices based on Open IoT SDK reset into a ready for commissioning state. This allows a controller to connect to them and set configuration options before the device becomes available on the Matter network.
Open IoT SDK Matter devices, due to the connectivity setup, start already connected to the IP network and do not require credentials provisioning.
To make provisioning possible and to control the Matter device with a Python application, you can build and run the Python controller application. Please read the guide Python Device Controller guide for further instructions.
Run chip-device-ctrl and use the interactive prompt to commission the device.
After the device boots, it's in ready for commissioning mode and starts the mDNS advertisement. This can be discovered by the controller using:
discover -all
This will list the devices and their addresses. To commission the device use:
connect -ip <address from above> <setup pin code> [<node id>]
The setup pin code is printed in the log of the device. The <node id> can be chosen by the user, if left blank it will be automatically picked.
If the commissioning process was successful, it is possible to send a ZCL command to the device which initiates a certain action.
zcl <Cluster> <Command> <NodeId> <EndpointId> <GroupId> [arguments]
Example:
chip-device-ctrl > zcl LevelControl MoveWithOnOff 12344321 1 0 moveMode=1 rate=2
