ready for prime time, to migrate a plugin from "old" homebridge to matter supporting?

[vincedarley]

Hi - I'm the creator/maintainer of https://github.com/vincedarley/homebridge-plugin-bwaspa - I'd love to make use of homebridge-matter to migrate/generalise that plugin so it supports Matter. (And thank you for your work to enable this possibility!)

Am I best waiting until official 2.0 homebridge release, etc, for that, or are things stable enough to consider working on it sooner?

Are there any examples of old homebridge plugins that have now adopted matter? (I'd like to be able to learn from how others have structured this...)

Thanks!

@vincedarley

Have you successfully tested this plugin? Would love to know if it is my homebridge setup or if it is just not detecting the correct homebridge version for whatever reason.

Yes, I have this plugin installed in a fresh beta release of homebridge 2.0, and it appears to be working fine. I've not tried to connect anything over Matter (although I am seeing both HomeKit and Matter QR codes for connection). (Fresh beta release = completely separate to my main homebridge install. I just spun up docker and installed there. Eventually I will delete my current main homebridge install and switch to this new docker/hb-2.0/matter setup, but not yet!).

The reason I haven't attempted anything further is because it's not at all clear to me what the status is of homebridge 2.0 and this plugin. Are they realistically close to ready, or far away? (hence my question above!). Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, but I don't see public information about the status of these things...

Hey - apologies i haven't replied to this until now.

@vincedarley i am glad you have had some success with this plugin? did you ever get around to getting it connected to your homekit network?

@Ailogeneous did you manage to get this plugin working at all?
