################### MatterGenericSwitch ###################

About

The MatterGenericSwitch class provides a generic switch endpoint for Matter networks. This endpoint works as a smart button that can send click events to the Matter controller, enabling automation triggers.

Features:

• Click event reporting to Matter controller
• Simple button functionality
• Automation trigger support
• Integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home
• Matter standard compliance

Use Cases:

• Smart buttons
• Automation triggers
• Remote controls
• Scene activation buttons
• Event generators for smart home automation

API Reference

Constructor

MatterGenericSwitch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Creates a new Matter generic switch endpoint.

.. code-block:: arduino

MatterGenericSwitch();

Initialization

begin ^^^^^

Initializes the Matter generic switch endpoint.

.. code-block:: arduino

bool begin();

This function will return true if successful, false otherwise.

end ^^^

Stops processing Matter switch events.

.. code-block:: arduino

void end();

Event Generation

click ^^^^^

Sends a click event to the Matter controller.

.. code-block:: arduino

void click();

This function sends a click event that can be used to trigger automations in smart home apps. The event is sent immediately and the Matter controller will receive it.

Usage Example:

When a physical button is pressed and released, call this function to send the click event:

.. code-block:: arduino

if (buttonReleased) {
    mySwitch.click();
    Serial.println("Click event sent to Matter controller");
}
