OPENHAB 5: Setting up the Matter Bridge - the best way to connect Google Home and Alexa - VIDEO

With the arrival of Matter, home automation finally becomes universal. Thanks to the Matter Bridge introduced in OpenHAB, you can now connect your smart home devices to Google Home and Amazon Alexa, without having to rely on external cloud services.

Matter is a standard that allows devices from different brands to communicate directly and securely over the local network. In OpenHAB, the bridge acts as a "bridge" between your items and compatible Matter controllers, such as Google Home or Amazon Echo.

Setup is simple:

  • Enable the Matter Bridge in OpenHAB.
  • Add the devices you want to expose.
  • Connect Google Home or Alexa via the app, using the pairing code.

From then on, you can control lights, sockets, and sensors with your voice, maintaining all the logic and automations in OpenHAB without relying on the cloud.
