After beta testing and community contributions, the update aims to improve stability, reduce bugs, and accelerate startup and recovery. It also adds network visualization, upgrades to Matter 1.5.1, and updates the OpenThread Border Router app for Thread 1.4 support. ### Source excerpt It started as a passion project. Yet in a few years matter.js has grown beyond my wildest expectations, becoming the backbone of the open source Matter ecosystem, and powering everything from Homebridge to openHAB, and even some commercial products. Ten months ago, I joined forces with the Open Home Foundation to work full time as Lead Developer of Matter. Shortly after, I donated matter.js to the foundation - giving it a new home where it would be safeguarded for the future. Together we announced our plans to take Matter support in Home Assistant in a completely new direction: we set out to rebuild the Open Home Foundation Matter Server - the engine that powers Matter in Home Assistant - on matter.js. After four months of beta testing, with our community fixing bugs and contributing new features along the way, today we're thrilled to present the newest version of Matter for Home Assistant! 🎉 The Open Home Foundation invests in important technology to make open alternatives possible, and our work is funded in part by everyone who subscribes to Home Assistant Cloud and buys official hardware from our commercial partners. The launch of a new Matter experience in Home Assistant shows what's possible with your support. 💪 Presenting the matter.js plans at the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Member Meeting in November 2025 (right), and returning in March 2026 as an Outstanding Contributor Award recipient (left). Serving up more with matter.js For those new to matter.js, it's an open source TypeScript implementation of the Matter standard. I built it to give developers and power users more speed and flexibility, and to make Matter better suited for open source development across the millions of homes that use Home Assistant. By running Matter in Home Assistant on matter.js, all of those benefits now flow directly into the platform. This major update brings greater stability for Matter in Home Assistant, fewer bugs, and faster start-up and recovery.

It describes the role of a Thread Border Router in forwarding IP traffic, routing between Thread and Wi-Fi, and supporting Matter device discovery and local automation. ### Source excerpt In the Previous Articles, we talked about Matter from several aspects. Today, let's start with a foundational concept of Matter: IP-based . Matter defines a common application layer, using Internet Protocol (IP) , that delivers interoperability among devices regardless of the underlying network protocol. At launch, Matter will run on Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Thread. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are all well known networking protocols, while Thread may be new to some people.
