Error when using ApplianceStatistics and Messaging clusters for Matter device

Hello,

I want to create a Matter network using my nRF5340 DK board, as Matter accessory, and my RaspberryPI, as controller (CHIP Tool controller). I'm using as well nRF SDK v1.9.99-dev.

I want to use a cluster allowing to send/receive a message in string format, for example : "10, A, 5". So, I chose two possible clusters : Appliance Statistics or Messaging.

I'm using the ZAP Tool to generate source files related to the new cluster for my Matter accessory. My problem is that these two clusters are not included in the src/app/zap_cluster_list.py file. So that's why I get errors when compiling my program. For example for the Appliance Statistics cluster, I get :

ValueError: Unhandled client cluster: APPLIANCE_STATISTICS_CLUSTER (hint:
add to src/app/zap_cluster_list.py)

Should I use another cluster ? If so, which ?

Thanks !

  • Hi, 

    May I know what you want to achieve here? The matter has a well-specified data model to represent certain actions e.g. "Turn off the light", "Lock the door". It is unusual to communicate with other Matter nodes using proprietary strings. Knowing more details, we can recommend the best approach - e.g. creating the proprietary cluster.

    Maybe you could consider Thread without Matter and UDP communication.

    Regards,
