Current Build not working due to issue in ESP-Matter Lib

[weidingerc]

Due to this issue espressif/esp-matter#217 , which already has been fixed, the Matter device with an ESP32 cannot connect to an iPhone with Apple Home on some routers. I used the Demo Example Code named "Light", unfortunately with the above described bug.

Could you recompile this lib to fix this bug?
Would be awesome :-)

I'm working on it ;)

If anyone needs it right now, I'm sending build via Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sKJHu-eRWWtuSjzGn-l8Wf4U2QkKAREE?usp=sharing

I need to rethink structure of this repository, as compiled files are too large. Most probably I will merge this and https://github.com/jakubdybczak/esp32-arduino-matter-builder repository, and repository will not have compiled files. Compiled files will be only as attached files in Github releases. From the other hand this approach is not really good for platformio developers, where it's easier to type repository url and in this case git-lfs is also an option.

Thanks for the quick answer! Unfortunately when I now try the light example, it still cannot connect and the Phone shows that it cannot add the device :-(

it seems it still cannot connect to my network (I was also making sure be be in the 2.4GHz WLAN before setup). I'll have to try with another router. But currently my home setup is then probably not supported then.

Thank you very much! The new build on the Google Drive worked fine.

it still cannot connect and the Phone shows that it cannot add the device :-(

You may try to update Apple Home from "Home Settings" menu at the top right corner to activate Matter. It seems that the update is not automatic as it may cause incompatibility among shared users and computers.

[weidingerc]

I already updated to the new “Home” architecture on iOS. So I guess it is another problem
Are you trying to add the esp32 matter device also with an iOS device?

[diysmartmatter]

I am running the light example on my iPhone with iOS 16.4. I also have a HomePod mini (16.4) working as a home hub.

Thanks for the reply
Strange
I have an AppleTV4K and two HomePod minis
Maybe I should deactivate the AppleTV as home hub

[weidingerc]

Could you write, which esp32 model you use? I saw an Amazon that there are multiple versions. Maybe I bought the wrong one?

[weidingerc]

Yay, I got it working by adding it my iPad. But I honestly have no idea why it only worked on this device. Now I can start coding :-)
Thanks for the help and compilation
