This demonstrates a Matter + RainMaker Controller. Matter is used for commissioning (also known as Wi-Fi provisioning) and local control, whereas RainMaker is used for remote control and OTA upgrades.
To commission the device, scan the QR Code generated by the esp-matter's mfg_tool script using ESP RainMaker app.
The commissioning flow for Matter Controller would be the same as other Matter devices. The controller will get node NOC (Node Operational Certificate) during Matter commissioning process.
After commissioning, configure the controller with your user credentials. The controller will then install the user NOC and fetch the devices' information in the same fabric with the custom controller cluster.
After updating node NOC to user NOC, the Controller could control other devices in the same fabric locally using the device console commands.
Single click the BOOT button will toggle the power of the selected remote device. This will also reflect on the phone app.
Double click the BOOT button will change the selected remote device. The new selected device's node-id will be printed in the device console.

OpenThread Border Router (OTBR) feature

Hardware Platform

ESP Thread Border Router DevKit Board, see the docs for more information about the hardware platform.

Build

The sdkconfig file sdkconfig.defaults.otbr is provided to enable the OTBR feature on the controller. Build and flash the controller example with the sdkconfig file 'sdkconfig.defaults.otbr'

idf.py -D SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS="sdkconfig.defaults;sdkconfig.defaults.otbr" set-target esp32s3 build
idf.py -p <PORT> erase-flash flash monitor

If you are using IDF v5.3.1 or later, there might be an error of #error CONFIG_LWIP_IPV6_NUM_ADDRESSES should be set to 12 when building this example. Please change the IPv6 addresses number for LwIP network interface in menuconfig and rebuild the example again.

CLI Command

Use Thread CLI command in device console

Note: Thread Border Router is not initialized until the Controller has been commissioned and obtained an IP address.

matter esp ot_cli <command>
