Matter power/energy not exposed unless both 0x010A + 0x0510 are present

Hi,

I’m exposing a normal smart meter (power + energy) from Home Assistant via a Matter bridge to SmartThings.

The device correctly advertises:

ElectricalPowerMeasurement cluster (activePower has real values)

ElectricalEnergyMeasurement cluster (cumulativeEnergyImported has real values)

PowerTopology cluster

However, the deviceTypeList only contains On/Off Plug-in Unit (0x010A). Electrical Sensor (0x0510) is missing.

Result: SmartThings only shows a plain switch. Power and energy never appear, and the device is not usable in the Energy dashboard.

I know the current matter-switch driver only matches the plug-power-energy-powerConsumption profile when both 0x010A and 0x0510 are present. Other platforms (Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant) are more flexible and use the clusters even when the exact device type combination is incomplete.

Request:

Could the driver also activate power/energy capabilities when the relevant measurement clusters are present, even if 0x0510 is not explicitly listed in the deviceTypeList? Or at least improve support for pure consumption meters that are not solar (0x0017)?

This would make Matter bridges and generic energy meters much more usable in SmartThings.

Thank you!

There are tons of matter devices that are not showing power consumption information ONLY IN SmartThings.

It seems that SmartThings already knows how to solve this problem.

This pull request seems to solve the problem, but somehow, this PR is not getting merged for MONTHS.:frowning:

The device correctly exposes the ElectricalPowerMeasurement and ElectricalEnergyMeasurement clusters, with real values for both activePower and cumulativeEnergyImported. However, the Electrical Sensor device type (0x0510) is missing from the deviceTypeList, which seems to prevent SmartThings from enabling the power and energy capabilities. www aarplifeinsurance com

This would be a really useful improvement for SmartThings! If the Matter device already exposes valid power and energy measurement clusters, the driver should ideally recognize those capabilities even when the Electrical Sensor device type is missing. Better support for generic energy meters and non-solar consumption monitoring would make Matter bridges much more flexible and help users get the most out of their Energy dashboard. express toll payment

I agree this would be a valuable improvement. If the Matter device already exposes valid power and energy measurement clusters, SmartThings should ideally be able to use those capabilities without requiring a specific device type combination. Supporting generic consumption meters would make Matter bridges much more flexible and allow users to monitor their energy usage properly in SmartThings, rather than being limited to a basic switch. openskycc com
