Matter over Wi-Fi Demo Overview

This document walks through the steps to build the Matter 1.1 and 1.2 applications, such as Lighting, Light Switch, Window Covering, Thermostat, Door Lock and On/Off Plug for both the NCP and SoC examples on the EFR32MG24 and SiWx917 SoC boards. A complete list of hardware supported for Wi-Fi is included on the Hardware Requirements page.

Step 1: Matter Wi-Fi Prerequisites

Before running the Matter Wi-Fi demo or developing for Wi-Fi make sure that you have all the required hardware and software for each use case.

  1. Matter Hardware Requirements

  2. Matter Software Requirements

Step 2: Building the chip-tool for Wi-Fi

In order to run the Matter over Wi-Fi demo you will need to run the chip-tool on one of two platforms, either Linux/Mac or Raspberry Pi.

  1. Build Linux Environment

  2. Build Raspberry-Pi Environment

Step 3: Building the Matter Accessory Device (MAD) for Wi-Fi

To build a Matter Wi-Fi Accessory Device, follow the steps in the Software Setup

Build commands are provided for the EFR32MG24 host processor, with the RS9116, SiWx917 and WF200 network co-processors.

Build commands are also provided for the SiWx917 SoC processor.

Step 4: Running the Demo

Running the Matter Demo on EFR32 hosts

Running the Matter Demo on SiWx917 SoC

This contains instructions to run the Matter Wi-Fi demo using the chip-tool running on a Linux Machine (either Laptop or Raspberry Pi) - follow this after successfully executing the above steps.
