"Homebridge 2.0, which has been in beta for over three years, officially launches. The update brings the initial groundwork for Matter support, allowing Homebridge to act as a Matter bridge in addition to a HomeKit bridge."
"The update enables Homebridge to bridge Matter devices into other Matter platforms, such as Google Home, Amazon's Alexa, Samsung's SmartThings, and Home Assistant, significantly expanding its capabilities."
"Apple has started using Matter for new device types rather than adding them to HomeKit directly. Our goal is to bridge that gap so Homebridge plugins can deliver full functionality for these device types."
Homebridge 2.0 officially launches, adding support for the Matter smart home standard. This update allows Homebridge to function as a Matter bridge, integrating Matter devices into Apple Home and other platforms like Google Home and Alexa. The update aims to fill gaps in HomeKit device support, particularly for new device types that Apple is adding via Matter. Homebridge plugins will enhance functionality for these devices, improving user experience in smart home integration.
