JmDe, on my side I don’t really understand this concern about WiFi devices. Most of my setup (over 150 devices) is on WiFi and they are much more reliable than my 10 devices (including 4 that act as bridges) on Zigbee. No disconnections.
Regarding consumption, honestly, we’re very often below a watt-hour. I’ll take an actual measurement but it’s still largely negligible today.
It depends on quite a few factors 
\n\n- The majority of users use an internet box provided by their ISP, which is generally not designed to handle dozens (let alone hundreds) of devices connected over Wi-Fi, especially in urban environments where interference between networks is common.\n- Zigbee and Thread form a mesh network (mesh) that naturally extends coverage throughout the house, without overloading the main Wi-Fi network.\n- For battery-powered devices, Wi-Fi is not a viable option: it consumes too much power. Low-power protocols like Zigbee or Thread are essential in this case. Most consumer smart home devices are battery-powered (motion sensor, door sensor, temperature sensor, switches).\n\nSo yes, a Wi-Fi setup can work perfectly well in certain well-managed contexts, but it’s not a universal solution nor the most suitable for every use case!
For Roborock vacuums that don’t support Matter, there is now a Matterbridge plugin!
Hello everyone 
I’m looking for a user with a Roborock vacuum who could test the Matterbridge Roborock plugin:
And write a short documentation with screenshots that I will publish in the documentation on the site, in the same format as these 2 documentations:
Thanks in advance 
Hi @pierre-gilles , I own a Roborock S8 Ultra, I’d be happy to test things, but I don’t know if there are any other prerequisites ?
No prerequisites, it should work, I think
Cool 
But if you don’t mind, you’ll have to guide me a bit on how I can test this plugin.
I haven’t followed ANY of it (so I didn’t understand anything either) about Matter, Matterbridge and other fun stuff.
You just need to follow the tutorial for Shelly, for example (Intégrer Shelly à Gladys via Matterbridge | Gladys Assistant), except that you install the Roborock plugin instead
Awesome! I’ll do it tonight 
After a little while, I just tested the plugin.
For now here’s what I can do:
But I can’t do anything else.. so it’s a pretty limited test for now.
I don’t know what else I should do?
Can you go to Gladys in the Matter integration to see if your devices are showing up?
Thanks for your message — that’s what I’m looking into, but the pairing code I find in the Matterbridge logs doesn’t work.
I copied the one located under the QR code:
On the Gladys side it takes 1 to 2 seconds to process… but it doesn’t add any device.
Can’t you see anything in the Devices view?
No, there is nothing.
@guim31 the message indicates that you have already started a pairing (commissioning) so it won’t work anymore, and unfortunately the pairing doesn’t seem to have worked.
I’ve had the issue a few times but I have to admit I don’t remember the exact steps to resolve it. But you can try the following.
You should stop the sharing from matterbridge, stop the matter service in gladys, restart the two Docker instances (gladys and matterbridge), then redo the sharing from matterbridge and then pair from gladys.
And I’m wondering whether, in the end, I didn’t completely remove matterbridge to rebuild it from scratch — I think that would be better since you don’t have anything in it.
And before installing the plug-in, you should manage to complete the pairing.
it’s normal, everything can be done exclusively from Gladys.
I hadn’t seen everything 
To be able to re-pair, you need to unpair, then remove a share from Matterbridge. Then re-share from Matterbridge and re-pair.
I didn’t fully understand your message… Lol
I decommissioned it from Gladys > tried to re-pair > nothing more.
Restarted the device integration on the Matterbridge side then tried again > no better.
In the end maybe I did it wrong from the start?
I don’t have time right now, but I’ll probably remove my Matterbridge container (and the files on the hard drive) and start everything from scratch!
