A diverse range of appliances is being created, and Ambient Intelligence is growing in homes. However, there are various producers of these gadgets, different kinds of protocols, and diverse environments. The lack of interoperability reduces comfort of the user and turns into a barrier to smart home adoption. Matter is growing by constructing an open-source application layer protocol that can be compatible with all smart home ecosystems. In this article, a Matter overview is provided (namely, of the Commissioning stage), and a Matter Accessory using ESP32-S3 is developed referring to the manufacturer\u2019s SDKs and is inserted into an existent household ecosystem. Its behavior on the network is briefly analyzed, and interactions with the device are carried out. The simplicity of these tasks demonstrates accessibility for developers to create products, especially when it comes to firmware. Additionally, device commissioning and control are straightforward for the consumer. This capacity of gadget incorporation into diverse ecosystems using Matter is already on the market and might result in higher device production and enhanced smart home adoption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics13112217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]],"date-time":"2024-06-06T08:45:37Z","timestamp":1717663537000},"page":"2217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Matter Protocol Integration Using Espressif\u2019s Solutions to Achieve Smart Home Interoperability"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9534-505X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Afonso","family":"Mota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Department, School of Sciences and Technology, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4632-9664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Ser\u00f4dio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Department, School of Sciences and Technology, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"Center ALGORITMI, University of Minho, Campus de Azur\u00e9m, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5798-1298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Valente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Department, School of Sciences and Technology, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"INESC TEC\u2014INESC Technology and Science, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"5518722","article-title":"UX Evaluation with Standardized Questionnaires in Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence: A Systematic Literature Review","volume":"2021","author":"Quesada","year":"2021","journal-title":"Adv.
