Matter 1.3 Specification Released - Will power monitoring now be supported by Homey?

Hi, a few months ago i bought a Tapo P110M smart plug, I could control the on/off functionality but not the power monitoring.
Homey support said that CSA did not support this features yet.
I just came across this article, does this mean that Homey can now support this feature?

I searched for 1.2 and it returned this:

Searching for 1.3 returned no results…

This confirms it:

I guess they meant Homey’s current Matter version, v1.2, does not support it yet.
Did you ask if Matter v1.3 is on it’s way for Homey?

I think I also read somewhere that no power measuring reporting outlet device is currently available (yet) that supports Matter 1.3. Meross have indicated they will add support for Matter energy reporting in the future.

I think Home Assistant is the only Matter controller already supporting the 1.3 spec

It was recently asked and answered on Slack:

Matter 1.3 is also important for European users that have smart locks, because 1.3 introduced the option of unlocking without opening the door.

The question was asked on 12.08.24. On 26.08.24 the beta firmware v12.0.2-rc was released, but also without Matter version 1.3.
Just as additional info.

Matter 1.3 was released back in May or June :man_shrugging:t3: Let’s hope Matter isn’t going to be the same as Zigbee for Homey: a minimal implementation so they can claim that Homey supports it, but no significant improvements after that.

We are actively working on adding support for the Matter 1.3 specification. The biggest challenge we face right now is obtaining samples for testing. At present, very few smart plugs — possibly only the new Eve Outdoor Matter plug — support power monitoring via Matter. The situation is similar for robot vacuums, but we are now receiving a sample from SwitchBot, which will allow us to properly test this device type.

FWIW, the Nuki 4 lock supports Matter 1.3 (for lock/unlock/open actions).

I think most people with matter smart locks will benefit from matter 1.3. Emile has a Aqara U200 right? :rofl:

No, he has a butler :stuck_out_tongue:

We are actively working on this! For power monitoring, we are collaborating with Eve to ensure everything functions as expected. We will also be adding additional lock capabilities.
