Wanted to share my recent experience testing two different approaches to integrate DIY hardware with Homey Pro, in case it helps others getting started: 1) ESP32-C3 Mini + WiFi + Homeyduino app I set up an on/off LED using the Homeyduino app (see thread Homeyduino @ V2.0 ), which lets you program t…

Interesting findings! I was actually planning on using some ESP32-C6’s to add Zigbee to some IKEA Ädellövskog candles powered by 2 AA batteries.

Very interesting, especially the battery angle - please share how it goes once you test it! Also, this kind of experience makes me think Homey could really benefit from building more of a maker community around it, similar to what Home Assistant has. With tools like these, everything becomes so muc…

As for the ESP32-C6 those are also great to create Thread/Matter devices. One of them is a replacement for a Ring Intercom since my building has two doors and it integrates great into any ecosystem. More complex devices on Zigbee tend to need custom clusters which needs to be implemented per ecosyst…

I Can you provide a sample code for in the esp32-c3?

C3 doesn’t support Zigbee/Thread.

Thanks! I’m curious about your Homey integration. Did you expose the ESP32-C6 directly as a Matter device, or did you use another middleware? How has the overall experience been? Also, are you using End Devices or Router Devices? I’m working on an apartment intercom project for the same reason. Mi…

Yes, exactly as @robertklep said, that board isn’t running Zigbee—it’s using Wi-Fi, and it works really well. For my first project I’m actually using a standard ESP32 DevKit board. The only code I currently have for the ESP32-C3 is a simple LED on/off example. I actually have two separate .ino fil…

Hi Eladio, I have modified “Chip.h” to get it through the compiler. Now it its working. (Attachment chip.h is missing) Thanks for looking into the problem.

I did expose the ESP32-C6 directly as a matter device with two locks nodes and one switch node. I soldered the relays to my existing intercoms buttons, so it does the same as manually pressing the buttons and then connected the external bell port to one of the opto inputs which triggers a Matter swi…
