I read about HA 2026.2 to replace Python-Matter-Server with Matter.js. I currently run HA in a Docker container, and Python-Matter-Server in another container.
What’s the way to migrate? Will there be a new Docker image that contains Matter.js and is able to automatically migrate data from Python-Matter-Server? Or will Matter.js be included with the HA Docker image in future?
Both python and node.js versions come with the AddON. You can enable the Beta version of the Matter Server AddOn (and then restart the AddOn) to try out Matter.js, and it should auto-migrate. You can also subsequently disable the Beta version (and restart the AddOn) to get back to the python based version.
Same question here. HA is migrating from the legacy Python-based Matter Server to a new JS-based version (Matter (.js) Server). They say that the new version is a “drop-in” replacement. The migration is seamless for users of the Matter Server add-on; however, is it so for installations that run the Matter Server (Python) on a remote container? And if so, what’s the migration route? I guess we simply create the new image pointing it at the same storage used by the old one.
The current migration route for docker installs is linked above, I am sure this will be similar or easier once the beta is over. With first start of the beta importing the python server data takes a while, but after that the Matter-JS server is much faster in every way already.
