Title: Which Matter examples can be flashed on ESP32 and controlled via chip-repl? (CON-1591)

[ghaliaLajmi]

Hi,

I have successfully flashed the light example from esp-matter/examples/light onto my ESP32-C3, and I was able to control it using chip-repl commands. It worked perfectly.

However, when I tried flashing the door lock example on an ESP32-S3, I encountered errors when attempting to control it via chip-repl. Interestingly, the virtual device for the door lock works fine with chip-repl, but the real device does not.

My ESP32-S3 and laptop are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

My Questions:
Which Matter examples can be flashed onto an ESP32 and controlled via chip-repl?
Do I need a real Matter-certified product for testing, or can I use the ESP32 as a Matter device?
The examples from connectedhomeip work only virtually or not? . In esp-matter, what are the other examples that works with the chip-repl ?

Reply: Almost every example can work on esp32, you just need to set esp32 target berfore build the example:

idf.py set-target esp32
idf.py build

Do I need a real Matter-certified product for testing, or can I use the ESP32 as a Matter device?

Reply: Only for testing , you don't need a real matter certified product.

The examples from connectedhomeip work only virtually or not?

Reply: No, it can work on esp32 series DevKit boards.

In esp-matter, what are the other examples that works with the chip-repl ?

Reply: From your log, if you want to control the doorlock, you need to add the Credentials in the command. Just as below:

Pairing with chip-tool:

chip-tool pairing ble-thread 1 hex:<operationalDataset> 20202021 3840

Set a user:

./out/chip-tool doorlock set-user OperationType UserIndex UserName UserUniqueId UserStatus UserType CredentialRule node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock set-user 0 1 "mike" 5 1 0 0 1 1 --timedInteractionTimeoutMs 1000

Set a credential:

./out/chip-tool doorlock set-credential OperationType Credential CredentialData UserIndex UserStatus UserType node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock set-credential 0 '{ "credentialType": 1, "credentialIndex": 1 }' "123456" 1 null null 1 1 --timedInteractionTimeoutMs 1000

Changing a credential:

./out/chip-tool doorlock set-credential OperationType Credential CredentialData UserIndex UserStatus UserType node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock set-credential 2 '{ "credentialType": 1, "credentialIndex": 1 }' "123457" 1 null null 1 1 --timedInteractionTimeoutMs 1000

Get a user:

./out/chip-tool doorlock get-user UserIndex node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock get-user 1 1 1

Unlock door:

./out/chip-tool doorlock unlock-door node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock unlock-door 1 1 --timedInteractionTimeoutMs 1000

Lock door:

./out/chip-tool doorlock lock-door node-id/group-id
./out/chip-tool doorlock lock-door 1 1 --timedInteractionTimeoutMs 1000
