Hello,

to use the new matterhub with zwave-js and alexa follow this steps:

Install matterhub:

Add this in the addon store under repositories.

After installing start it and and open the user interface.

Add a bridge

Include
Type: platform
Value: zwave_js

Save

Sometimes a restart of the intergration is necessary or home assistant or your alexa device.

In the addon under protocol you can find a qr-code.

The qr-code from the matterhub page doesnot work for me.

Go to alexa, add a new device, choose other and look for matter, scan your qr-code. Accept that it is not certified. Wait. After round about one minute you see your devices

Came across your post and setup this add-on. It is a really nice one. I was able to connect couple of non-Matter devices to Alexa app as Matter devices using this add-on. Thanks for the write up.

Hello,
to exclude binary.sensors and other entities take pattern under exclude
and type in value for example: binary.sensor.* or light.* etc.
Then save it.

Sensors you will not control with your speech (binary.sensor or light from zwave) will be not shown in the alexa app.

Best regards.

What is the URL to add this? I am trying to use: https://github.com/t0bst4r/home-assistant-matter-hub but get an “…invalid add-on” error.

Simply add the following GitHub Repository URL to your Home Assistant AddOn Store.

  1. Open the UI of your Home Assistant instance
  2. Go to Settings → Add-Ons → Add-On Store
  3. Click the three dots in the top-right corner and select Repositories
  4. Paste the repository URL https:// GitHub - t0bst4r/home-assistant-addons (without the blankets before github) into the text-field and click “Add”
  5. Refresh your Add-On Store and Install the Add-On
  6. You can configure the log level and the port of the Web UI in the AddOn configuration page

This is from the documentation after you installed it.

Best regards
