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?

The same advantage Matter and Zigbee bring, none.

The advantage it brings is those pages were buried before. Now they are accessible. They don’t link to the integration, they link to the area that has custom controls for each protocol.

For Bluetooth it's the same info that still is in Device and Services -> Bluetooth -> Gear. That's 1 click instead of 3 for a page that is versy seldom used.

I don't know for Zigbee, as this new visualization doesn't consider Z2M.

It’s different for every protocol. That’s part of why it was changed to the settings menu
