Roadmap for Node-RED Matter

[FezVrasta]

Welcome to the thrilling journey of Node-RED Matter! This roadmap outlines the upcoming features that will elevate your project to new heights. Get ready for an entertaining ride filled with innovation and possibilities.

• [x] Unleash the Power of the Matter-Verse: Introduce a mind-bending feature that lets you connect and control "real" Matter accessories in Node-RED. Who said you can't make friends with inanimate objects? (controller)
• [ ] Amplify the Awesomeness: Expand the accessory roster with brand new types that are going to blow your mind! But hold on, we need to give matter.js a little nudge to make them work seamlessly. The wait won't be long though, it's like counting down to the next blockbuster release.
• [x] Unify and Conquer with QR Code Mastery: We're taking convenience to a whole new level by introducing support for multi-device nodes. Say goodbye to the hassle of scanning multiple QR codes! Now, a single QR code is all you need to unlock the power of multiple devices, bringing simplicity and efficiency to your Node-RED Matter experience. (bridged devices)

Matter Controller node

The advanced Matter Controller node has emerged from the depths of development, equipped with robust capabilities. It currently supports simple OnOff devices and aggregators, enabling seamless integration with various accessories. By establishing a connection between the node and a Matter-enabled Philips Hue bridge, your entire lighting ecosystem becomes effortlessly accessible. However, the quest for expansion requires the following technical feats:

• [ ] Extended integration to encompass a wider array of device types.
• [ ] Implementation of device names as defined within the connected Matter bridge, ensuring accurate identification.
• [ ] Implementation of comprehensive control mechanisms to manipulate and orchestrate connected devices effortlessly.

Matter Bridge node

Prepare to be amazed by the pinnacle of engineering marvels, the Matter Bridge node! This ingenious creation boasts impeccable functionality, allowing for the creation of multiple virtual devices with unparalleled ease. The bridge harmoniously pairs all defined devices when synchronized with your Matter controller. However, there is still a technical challenge to overcome:

• [x] Facilitate the refreshing of child devices within the bridge when paired with controllers, ensuring synchronization remains up-to-date and seamless.
