## Introduction

The EFR32 window-covering example provides a baseline demonstration of a Window
Covering device, built using Matter and the Silicon Labs gecko SDK. It can be
controlled by a Chip controller over an Openthread or Wifi network.

The EFR32 device can be commissioned over Bluetooth Low Energy where the device
and the Chip controller will exchange security information with the Rendez-vous
procedure. In the case of Thread, the Thread Network credentials are provided to
the EFR32 device which will then join the Thread network.

If the LCD is enabled, the LCD on the Silabs WSTK shows a QR Code containing the
needed commissioning information for the BLE connection and starting the
Rendez-vous procedure. Once the device is commissioned, the displays shows a
representation of the window covering state.

The window-covering example is intended to serve both as a means to explore the
workings of Matter as well as a template for creating real products based on the
Silicon Labs platform.

## Building

-   Download the
    [Simplicity Commander](https://www.silabs.com/mcu/programming-options)
    command line tool, and ensure that `commander` is your shell search path.
    (For Mac OS X, `commander` is located inside
    `Commander.app/Contents/MacOS/`.)

-   Download and install a suitable ARM gcc tool chain (For most Host, the
    bootstrap already installs the toolchain):
    [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 12.2 Rel1](https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads)

-   Install some additional tools(likely already present for CHIP developers):

           # Linux
           $ sudo apt-get install git ninja-build

           # Mac OS X
           $ brew install ninja

-   To delete generated executable, libraries and object files use:

          $ cd ~/connectedhomeip
          $ rm -rf ./out/

    OR use GN/Ninja directly

          $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/window-app/silabs
          $ git submodule update --init
          $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh

          $ git submodule update --init
          $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh
          $ export SILABS_BOARD=BRD4187C
          $ gn gen out/debug --args='import("//with_pw_rpc.gni")'
          $ ninja -C out/debug

For more build options, help is provided when running the build script without
arguments

         ./scripts/examples/gn_silabs_example.sh

## Flashing the Application

-   On the command line:

          $ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/window-app/silabs
          $ python3 out/debug/matter-silabs-window-example.flash.py

-   Or with the Ozone debugger, just load the .out file.

All EFR32 boards require a bootloader, see Silicon Labs documentation for more
info. Pre-built bootloader binaries are available in the Assets section of the
Releases page on
[Silabs Matter Github](https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases) .

## Viewing Logging Output

### SEGGER RTT

The example application is built to use the SEGGER Real Time Transfer (RTT)
facility for log output. RTT is a feature built-in to the J-Link Interface MCU
on the WSTK development board. It allows bi-directional communication with an
embedded application without the need for a dedicated UART.

Using the RTT facility requires downloading and installing the _SEGGER J-Link
Software and Documentation Pack_
([web site](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink#J-LinkSoftwareAndDocumentationPack)).

Alternatively, SEGGER Ozone J-Link debugger can be used to view RTT logs too
after flashing the .out file.

-   Download the J-Link installer by navigating to the appropriate URL and
    agreeing to the license agreement.

-   [JLink_Linux_x86_64.deb](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/JLink_Linux_x86_64.deb)
-   [JLink_MacOSX.pkg](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/JLink_MacOSX.pkg)

*   Install the J-Link software

          $ cd ~/Downloads
          $ sudo dpkg -i JLink_Linux_V*_x86_64.deb

*   In Linux, grant the logged in user the ability to talk to the development
    hardware via the linux tty device (/dev/ttyACMx) by adding them to the
    dialout group.

          $ sudo usermod -a -G dialout ${USER}

Once the above is complete, log output can be viewed using the JLinkExe tool in
combination with JLinkRTTClient as follows:

-   Run the JLinkExe tool with arguments to autoconnect to the WSTK board:

    For MG24 use:

          ```
          $ JLinkExe -device EFR32MG24AXXXF1536 -if SWD -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1
          ```

-   In a second terminal, run the JLinkRTTClient to view logs:

          $ JLinkRTTClient

### Console Log

If the binary was built with this option or if you're using the Siwx917 WiFi
SoC, the logs and the CLI (if enabled) will be available on the serial console.

This console required a baudrate of **115200** with CTS/RTS. This is the default
configuration of Silicon Labs dev kits.

**HOWEVER** the console will required a baudrate of **921600** with CTS/RTS if
the verbose mode is selected (--verbose)

#### Configuring the VCOM

-   Using (Simplicity
    Studio)[https://community.silabs.com/s/article/wstk-virtual-com-port-baudrate-setting?language=en_US]
-   Using commander-cli
    ```
    commander vcom config --baudrate 921600 --handshake rtscts
    ```

### Using the console

With any serial terminal application such as screen, putty, minicom etc.

## Running the Complete Example

-   It is assumed here that you already have an OpenThread border router
    configured and running. If not see the following guide
    [Openthread_border_router](https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/docs/platforms/openthread/openthread_border_router_pi.md)
    for more information on how to setup a border router on a raspberryPi.

    Take note that the RCP code is available directly through
    [Simplicity Studio 5](https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/simplicity-studio/simplicity-studio-5)
    under File->New->Project Wizard->Examples->Thread : ot-rcp

-   User interface : **LCD** The LCD on Silabs WSTK shows a QR Code. This QR
    Code is be scanned by the CHIP Tool app For the Rendez-vous procedure over
    BLE

        * On devices that do not have or support the LCD Display like the BRD4166A Thunderboard Sense 2,
          a URL can be found in the RTT logs.

          <info  > [SVR] Copy/paste the below URL in a browser to see the QR Code:
          <info  > [SVR] https://project-chip.github.io/connectedhomeip/qrcode.html?data=CH%3AI34NM%20-00%200C9SS0

    **LED 0** shows the overall state of the device and its connectivity. The
    following states are possible:

        -   _Short Flash On (50 ms on/950 ms off)_ ; The device is in the
            unprovisioned (unpaired) state and is waiting for a commissioning
            application to connect.

        -   _Rapid Even Flashing_ ; (100 ms on/100 ms off)_ &mdash; The device is in the
            unprovisioned state and a commissioning application is connected through
            Bluetooth LE.

        -   _Short Flash Off_ ; (950ms on/50ms off)_ &mdash; The device is fully
            provisioned, but does not yet have full Thread network or service
            connectivity.

        -   _Solid On_ ; The device is fully provisioned and has full Thread
            network and service connectivity.

    **LED 1** Shows the state of the window covering

        -   _Solid On_ ; The window cover if fully open
        -   _Off_ ; The window cover if fully closed
        -   _Blinking slowly_ ; The window cover is half-open, either by tilt, or lift
        -   _Blinking quickly_ ; The window cover is being automatically open or closed

    **Push Button 0** Increase either tilt or lift, and factory reset

        -   Pressed and release: The lift/tilt increases by 10%

        -   Pressed and hold for 6 s: Initiates the factory reset of the device.
            Releasing the button within the 6-second window cancels the factory reset
            procedure. **LEDs** blink in unison when the factory reset procedure is
            initiated.

    **Push Button 1** Decreases either tilt or lift, or switch the cover type

        -   Pressed and release: The lift/tilt decreases by 10%

        -   Press and hold for 3 s: Cycle between window covering type (Rollershade, Drapery, Tilt Blind - Lift and Tilt).

    **Push Button0 and Button1** Switch between lift and tilt

        - Pressing and release both buttons at the same time: switches between lift and tilt modes. Most window covering types support either lift only, or tilt only, but type 0x08 support both (default)

        - Pressing and hold both buttons at the same time: Cycles between window covering 1, and window covering 2.

*   Once the device is provisioned, it will join the Thread network is
    established, look for the RTT log

    ```

    (you can verify that the device is on the thread network with the command
    `router table` using a serial terminal (screen / minicom etc.) on the board
    running the window-app example. You can also get the address list with the
    command ipaddr again in the serial terminal )

    You can provision the Chip device using Chip tool Android or iOS app or
    through CLI commands on your OT BR

    The
    [CHIPTool](https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/examples/chip-tool/README.md)
    can now be used to send ZCL commands to the window covering device. For
    instance, to set the window covering lift by percentage:

    ```
    chip-tool pairing ble-thread 1 hex:<operationalDataset> 20202021 3840

    chip-tool onoff on 1 1

    chip-tool windowcovering go-to-tilt-percentage 50 0 1 1
    ```

    To see the supported window covering cluster commands, use:

    ```
    chip-tool windowcovering
    ```

### Notes

-   Depending on your network settings your router might not provide native ipv6
    addresses to your devices (Border router / PC). If this is the case, you
    need to add a static ipv6 addresses on both device and then an ipv6 route to
    the border router on your PC

          # On Border Router :
          $ sudo ip addr add dev <Network interface> 2002::2/64

          # On PC (Linux) :
          $ sudo ip addr add dev <Network interface> 2002::1/64

          # Add Ipv6 route on PC (Linux)
          $ sudo ip route add <Thread global ipv6 prefix>/64 via 2002::2
