Node-red-matter-bridge Observations and Issues

General
1

First thanks Sammachin for extremely useful set of nodes that I use in conjunction with Alexa.

  1. Following the upgrade from 0.12.2 to 0.12.3 I’ve noticed that any subsequent change in a device node name within node red is no longer reflected within the Alexa device names.
  2. With respect to both versions I have issues with the momentary switches becoming non-functional when Alexa routines are instigated via node red (the routines continue to work from within Alexa). Initially all seems well but then they stop working. While the plug and contact sensor nodes associated with the same matter bridge as the momentary switch continue to function.

Hi @PdeJ if these are issues with a particular node (rather than a request for help) it would probably be better if you raised them as issues on Sams (@sammachin) node-red-matter-bridge repository directly.

You may even find they have been raised already.

Thanks I’ll do that.

If others are experiencing the same problem my workaround is to use a Node Red Function node toggle the matter Contact sensor node and have the same Alexa routine for both its Open and Closed states.
