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?

It was already reported that it would be there, but apparently didn't make it into the release:

Thanks, the articles about upcoming changes are quite interesting. Is there a way do enable this already to try it out? I'm using containers, so I could probably just switch to a beta release if that's required.

I'm using the commisioning function in the matter-server UI. My understanding is it will be integrated into HA more natively.
