How to commission a device to our fabric after adding it using Matter.Support
We have the following configuration:
eero border router
our own thermostat device that we are developing
no home pod or home TV are used
We have followed this guide
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mattersupport/adding-matter-support-to-your-ecosystem
and implemented Matter Extension, as Matter.Framework is no more allowed to pair device.
In Matter Extension the following callbacks are fired:
override func selectThreadNetwork(from threadScanResults: [MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler.ThreadScanResult]) async throws -> MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler.ThreadNetworkAssociation
override func commissionDevice(in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?, onboardingPayload: String, commissioningID: UUID) async throws
In our demo app the following function completes without errors
try await request.perform()
The thermostat device seems to be successfully commissioned.
In https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mattersupport/adding-matter-support-to-your-ecosystem there is a comment that says:
Use Matter.Framework APIs to pair the accessory to your application with the provided onboardingPayload.
How should this thing be done ?
We tried to start the matter controller in the old way:
func start() -> Bool
{
if (self.matterController == nil)
{
let storage = MatterStorage.shared
let factory = MTRDeviceControllerFactory.sharedInstance()
let factoryParams = MTRDeviceControllerFactoryParams(storage: storage)
do
{
try factory.start(factoryParams)
}
catch
{
return false
}
let keys = FabricKeys()
let params = MTRDeviceControllerStartupParams(signing: keys, fabricId: UInt64(fabricId), ipk: keys.ipk)
params.vendorID = NSNumber(value: self.vendorId)
self.matterController = try? factory.createController(onExistingFabric: params)
let controllerNid = self.matterController?.controllerNodeID
if (self.matterController == nil)
{
self.matterController = try? factory.createController(onNewFabric: params)
}
}
return (self.matterController != nil)
}
Certificate are generated locally as in Matter Darwin example.
We tried to call
let params = MTRCommissioningParameters()
matterController?.commissionNode(withID: NSNumber(value: self.deviceNid), commissioningParams: params)
in commissionDevice of Matter Extension but we get error:
Invalid object state.
