Matter Support #781

Would it be possible to add matter support so that the EVSE can be controlled by a smart home app like Google Home, Alexa, HomeKit, or Samsung SmartThings? I know matter doesn’t officially support an EVSE device type but until it does the outlet device type can be used.

Looks like it is possible. There is a ESP32 library for Matter.

matter 1.3 was just released which introduced support for EVSE's https://csa-iot.org/newsroom/matter-1-3-specification-released/ It would be great to add support to simplify integration into smart home ecosystems

Esp32 matter needs a bunch of ram based on what I saw. Plus squetch size would be too big on previous evse wifi module. Matter needs BLE compiled in because of Bluetooth commissioning. The new wifi module with bigger flash, + some SPRAM could make it.

An interesting discussion about it here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-matter/issues/363

Curious if this is possible on the current WiFi module. The recent catastrophic demise of Juicebox/EnelX has me thinking a lot about the importance of chargers that support widely adopted open standards. For commercial chargers that’s OCPP, for residential it seems like Matter is probably the best bet?
