Hi All, Just wanted to announce that I’ve created a functional implementation of Matter protocol using crystal lang.
I am not sure if there is much embedded device coding happening on crystal lang yet, however the aim is to be able to build hardware using crystal lang that works natively with your phone or voice assistant without having to install any 3rd party apps.
I’m personally using a Raspberry Pi to expose super customized controls for hardware around my house - button to pre-heat the oven and see the current oven temperature etc from my phones home screen
I also created a media center control app for a friends windows media center PC (was annoying to have to go inside and use a mouse at a new years party to adjust volume - now can do it from their phone) GitHub - Crystal-Matter/matter_media: control windows media controls via matter protocol (play, pause, previous, next, volume, mute)
So for anyone interested in home automation, I would love for you to have a play
