Home Assistant's latest update makes Matter leak sensors and locks worth setting up
They might have worked for a while now but the important features only just landed
Home Assistant's latest update introduces support for Matter smart locks and leak sensors, enhancing their functionality. The update enables smart lock users to manage users, PINs, and issue full and one-time access codes. For leak sensors, the update adds two new switches, Audible alarm enabled and Visual alarm enabled, which are part of the Matter spec's Boolean State Configuration.
These switches allow users to control the siren and flashing light independently. However, not all leak sensors support these features, as they must report the Boolean State Configuration cluster and accept the command to switch the alarms on or off. The update requires device manufacturers to include these features in their sensors for Home Assistant to utilize them.
