Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Create a Home Assistant API token Create a Home Assistant access token (a secret key for web requests) and put it in place of the example TOKEN. Without it, Home Assistant rejects the request, so device controls and integrations won't work. source
  • Unraid Network Configuration Set the container Network Type to Host and enable IPv6 in Unraid Network Settings before first start; without these, paired devices may show as offline or unresponsive. source

Common questions

Which add-on slug should I use for the stable Home Assistant Matter Hub?

Use hamh for the stable channel. hamh-alpha and hamh-testing are the alpha and testing channels, and the testing channel is highly unstable.

Do I need a Home Assistant access token to expose devices to Matter controllers?

Yes, create a Home Assistant access token and configure it for the hub. Without a valid token, Home Assistant rejects requests and device controls or integrations will not work.

Does the Matter hub require port forwarding to talk to Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa?

No. Matter allows the controllers to connect locally without port forwarding.
