Let there be light, but dimmed at 30% please

Introducing the "No More Blind Eyes" feature in our latest release! Say goodbye to stumbling in the dark when nature calls at night. Now you can dim the lights and switch them on without giving your eyes a heart attack. Your midnight bathroom adventures just got a lot less dramatic, and a lot more illuminated!

BREAKING CHANGES

• The matter-device-status and matter-device-control nodes now use a more structured input/output payload.

For simple on/off devices: { on: Boolean | null }, for dimmable ones: { on: Boolean | null, level: number | null }

• matter-device-node configuration form will now properly trigger a validation error in case the node is not properly configured

• Fixed some race conditions
• Fixed UI issues
• Better error handling
• Improved matter-device and matter-aggregator UIs

• Bugs were squashed and now everything is better
• Node names will be used as Matter default device names

• Improved error handling

• Initial support for bridges, a new matter-bridge-node configuration is now available, when you create a matter-device-node you can decide if you want it to be a standalone device (with its own QR code) or an aggregated device (multiple devices all under the same bridge QR code) -- For now this doesn't allow to dynamically add new devices to a bridge but it's something I want to implement

• Error handling in case a controller can't find the target device
• When a Matter server is deleted, its configuration folder will be deleted as well

• You can pair Matter bridge devices (such as Philips Hue bridge under the Matter beta firmware) to the matter-controller-node, the matter-controller-status-node will then listen to any state changes on any of the light bulbs exposed from the Hue bridge!

• matter-controller and matter-controller-status nodes are here! You can now pair any Matter device to a controller node, and listen for its status changes using the matter-controller-status node. This effectively allows to integrate real Matter devices into Node-RED!

• matter-device configuration nodes will now tell if the device is currently commissioned or not
• fixed several race conditions

• Added a NODE_RED_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL environment variable, see the wiki to learn how to use it
• Minor fixes

BREAKING CHANGES

• The matter-device node now requires a matter-server node to work, the new matter-server node will be usually shared across all the matter-device nodes

FEATURES

• The matter-device node now allows to specify the product ID

• control node is now right aligned
• all nodes now have the Matter logo as icon

The first usable release is here!
