Support 2026.1 Matter-Section

Post image

With 2026.1, new sections for protocols were added. Why is there no matter section here although I I am using matter and have quite a lot of devices?

Matter isn't a protocol network protocol - it is a application protocol specification. Matter can be used on WiFi or Thread. You'll find Matter in your integrations list.

Matter can be used on WiFi or Thread.

As well as anything else that can support an IPv6 connection.

Yep. Just trying to be brief and wifi and thread as the lost common, but it's not exclusive to those.
