Any update on the Matter integration

Any update on the Matter integration discussion?  I have a wall switch that I’d like to try.

Thanks.

Wondering myself as I still don't see a way to connect a matter device

This doesn't answer the question as to when we might see the Matter integration, but I have started adding Thread devices to my house using Apple TV's as the Thread Border Routers.  I will be using the Apple TV's as my cable TV box as I phase out the physical boxes from Spectrum.  This means the Apple TV's are spread around the house setting up a large Thread mesh network.  I bought 3 Eve Energy plugs which are routers themselves and added them to the Thread mesh.  With that , I already have the Thread network running and am getting some experience with it.  I used the Eve Home app to add the switches and that app gives you a really good map of the thread network.  I can control the devices via the Eve Home app or HomeKit.  They automatically show up in both.  I'm hoping that when Matter integration is added to Eisy, it should see the existing Thread network and allow me to include the Eve Energy switches in my Eisy programming.  The switches are very fast, much like Insteon and much faster than Z-Wave.  So far, I'm pleased with the quality of the Eve Home switches and the ease of setting up the Matter/Thread system.

An update on this would be great...

Hi All, got WiFi commissioning working. Apologies for the delay, it's just been a huge pain with fluid specs that changed again just last month.

I hate saying "we are very close" since it seems that with Matter, we keep chasing after a different goal post. 

With kind regards,
Michel

The Greywind blinds I have been adding to my home which are zigbee, now also have a "Matter Motor".  Those arrived today.  Unlike the Zigbee they didn't populate blank devices in my eisy admin panel.  They are finding a "matter network" and my guess is that it is the matter dongle on my eisy, but I have no idea.  

So now my matter and zigbee device wishlists both include greywind (Alexa ready) motorized blinds. 

If the matter device creates a thread network, is there any way to find the key?  I do have a thread network appearing on my home network but no idea what device did it.  The Eve app is asking me to add accessories, and I can't do that until I get the key.

Thank you
