Take your Home Assistant setup to the next level by exposing any device to Matter with the MatterBridge add-on and Home Assistant plugin. In this video, I’ll show you how to use MatterBridge to make your Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT, and Wi-Fi devices appear as native Matter accessories in Apple Home, Google Home, and other Matter controllers.
Whether you’re trying to control a Zigbee bulb with a Matter remote like the Flic Duo or link your smart plug into Apple Home, this add-on makes it possible. I’ll walk you through the install, setup, and show real-world examples using Matter-capable remotes like the SwitchBot Hub 3 and Flic LR Hub.
📌 Full walkthrough includes:
• What Matter, Controllers, and Bridges actually are
• How to install the MatterBridge add-on for Home Assistant
• How to configure the plugin and expose specific entities
• How to pair MatterBridge with your favorite Matter controller
• Tips for filtering and labeling your devices
• Real demos with Flic and SwitchBot
💬 Let me know in the comments what you’d expose with MatterBridge!
