Software Name

Matter Server

Brief Description

This project implements a Matter Controller Server over WebSockets. The goal of this project is primarily to have Matter support in Home Assistant but its universal approach makes it suitable to be used in other projects too.

@24mu13 I started to work on such a package.

There is a breaking issue (home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server#1102) since it reqires a data folder located at /data.

I can not validate yet whether a matter-server will really work. Probably the network capabilities und DSM will not allow to communicate with devices (see https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server/blob/main/docs/os_requirements.md)

When I manually created the /data folder and gave access to the sc-matter-server user, the server runs as this user.
Finally Home Assistant (from #6453) recognized the matter server and the matter integration runs.

But I have not a clue whether this matter-server can find and connect to any matter node/device (or whatever it's called).

If the /data folder is not configurable, we can't create a package with python-matter-server depending on python312.
Then it can be run only as a docker container.
If we can ever create a matter-server package it will be restricted to DSM 7.2 and 64-bit models (x64 and aarch64), and docker is an option for most of such systems.

BTW: My current work is based on #6454, so I haven't created a PR yet.
