This seemed like the best category as attempting to post a topic in the top level "hardware" was blocked with a red cross over "create a new topic" so it seems I need to post under a subcategory.
Is the Nano Matter the only Arduino Board that supports the Matter protocol? I am not sure it suits my purposes as the Arduino Docs Tech Specs do not show it supports WiFi. I would stick with an Arduino product if possible. Is there an alternate small form factor development board by Arduino that supports the Matter Protocol, WIFI and BLE
Thanks, I took a look at the tutorial, but I am looking for something a bit less complex than attaching two boards together with very low power consumption and sleep modes. For now I just need to get a few development boards in hand to start working with them. I was hoping to find an Arduino product to reduce configuration nightmares, but I am getting the impression there isn't one? My search came up snake eyes. Just thought I would ask before moving onto another manufacturer.
Whatever I use will be battery powered so it also needs to be extremely low power consumptions with deep sleep modes. The board only needs to take input from 2 - 3 sensors and be capable of turning on and off a latching router so I only need two to three analog and enough digital pins to control an H-bridge. It also needs to send data to a controller wirelessly and receive simple instructions from a controller. I'm thinking multiple devices on a local network with a controller that has the capability to aggregate the data individually and send data to a cloud-based server like Arduino IOT Cloud as a single device.
This product looks interesting as it checks off the boxes of integrating WiFi, BLE and Matter Protocol in a power saving tiny form factor.
