Matter Linux Air Quality Example

An example showing the use of Matter on the Linux. The document will describe how to build and run Matter Linux Air Quality Example on Raspberry Pi. This doc is tested on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Server 20.04 LTS (aarch64) and Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Desktop 20.10 (aarch64)

To cross-compile this example on x64 host and run on NXP i.MX 8M Mini EVK, see the associated README document for details.

Building

  • Install tool chain

      $ sudo apt-get install git gcc g++ python pkg-config libssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev ninja-build python3-venv python3-dev unzip
    
  • Build the example application:

      $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/air-quality-sensor-app/linux
      $ git submodule update --init
      $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh
      $ gn gen out/debug
      $ ninja -C out/debug
    
  • To delete generated executable, libraries and object files use:

      $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/air-quality-sensor-app/linux
      $ rm -rf out/
    
  • Build the example with pigweed RPC

      $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/air-quality-sensor-app/linux
      $ git submodule update --init
      $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh
      $ gn gen out/debug --args='import("//with_pw_rpc.gni")'
      $ ninja -C out/debug
    

Commandline arguments

  • --wifi

    Enables WiFi management feature. Required for WiFi commissioning.

  • --thread

    Enables Thread management feature, requires ot-br-posix dbus daemon running. Required for Thread commissioning.

  • --ble-device <interface id>

    Use specific bluetooth interface for BLE advertisement and connections.

    interface id: the number after hci when listing BLE interfaces by hciconfig command, for example, --ble-device 1 means using hci1 interface. Default: 0.

Running the Complete Example on Raspberry Pi 4

gn gen out/debug
ninja -C out/debug
  • Prerequisites

    1. A Raspberry Pi 4 board
    2. A USB Bluetooth Dongle, Ubuntu desktop will send Bluetooth advertisement, which will block Matter from connecting via BLE. On Ubuntu server, you need to install pi-bluetooth via APT.
    3. Ubuntu 20.04 or newer image for ARM64 platform.
  • Building

    Follow Building section of this document.

  • Running

    • [Optional] Plug USB Bluetooth dongle

      • Plug USB Bluetooth dongle and find its bluetooth device number. The number after hci is the bluetooth device number, 1 in this example.

          $ hciconfig
          hci1:	Type: Primary  Bus: USB
              BD Address: 00:1A:7D:AA:BB:CC  ACL MTU: 310:10  SCO MTU: 64:8

              TX bytes:92185 acl:20 sco:0 commands:5259 errors:0
        
      • Run Linux Air Quality Example App

          $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/air-quality-sensor-app/linux
          $ sudo out/debug/chip-air-quality-sensor-app --ble-device [bluetooth device number]
          # In this example, the device we want to use is hci1
          $ sudo out/debug/chip-air-quality-sensor-app --ble-device 1
        
      • Test the device using ChipDeviceController on your laptop / workstation etc.

Trigger event using air-quality-sensor-app event named pipe

You can send a command to air-quality-sensor-app to trigger specific event via air-quality-sensor-app event named pipe /tmp/chip_air_quality_fifo*.

Trigger air quality change event

Generate event AirQuality, to change the air quality value.

$ echo '{"Name":"AirQuality","NewValue":3}' > /tmp/chip_air_quality_fifo_<PID>

Trigger Temperature change event

Generate event TemperatureMeasurement, to change the temperate value.

$ echo '{"Name":"TemperatureMeasurement","NewValue":1800}' > /tmp/chip_air_quality_fifo_<PID>

Trigger Humidity change event

Generate event RelativeHumidityMeasurement, to change the relative humidity value (6000 for 60,0 %).

$ echo '{"Name":"RelativeHumidityMeasurement","NewValue":6000}' > /tmp/chip_air_quality_fifo_<PID>
