I recently had the pleasure of setting up a Matter-enabled door lock, and I wanted to share my positive experience along with some tips that might help others facing similar challenges.
My Experience
Initially, I encountered some issues when changing the PRODUCT_ID to 0x8007. The setup process seemed to work fine, but I noticed unexpected behavior after commissioning. After some research and troubleshooting, I discovered that the problem was related to the device’s attestation verification. Once I ensured the device’s certificates were properly configured and validated, everything started working smoothly.
