MatterPressureSensor

About

The MatterPressureSensor class provides a pressure sensor endpoint for Matter networks. This endpoint implements the Matter pressure sensing standard for read-only pressure reporting.

Features: * Pressure measurement reporting in hectopascals (hPa) * Read-only sensor (no control functionality) * Automatic pressure updates * Integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home * Matter standard compliance

Use Cases: * Atmospheric pressure monitoring * Weather stations * Barometric pressure sensors * Pressure logging * Smart home weather monitoring

API Reference

Constructor

MatterPressureSensor

Creates a new Matter pressure sensor endpoint.

MatterPressureSensor();

Initialization

begin

Initializes the Matter pressure sensor endpoint with an initial pressure value.

bool begin(double pressure = 0.00);
  • pressure - Initial pressure in hectopascals (hPa, default: 0.00)

This function will return true if successful, false otherwise.

Note: Typical atmospheric pressure at sea level is around 1013.25 hPa. Pressure values typically range from 950-1050 hPa.

end

Stops processing Matter pressure sensor events.

void end();

Pressure Control

setPressure

Sets the reported pressure value.

bool setPressure(double pressure);
  • pressure - Pressure in hectopascals (hPa)

This function will return true if successful, false otherwise.

getPressure

Gets the current reported pressure value.

double getPressure();

This function will return the pressure in hectopascals (hPa).

Operators

double operator

Returns the current pressure.

operator double();

Example:

double pressure = mySensor;  // Get current pressure

Assignment operator

Sets the pressure value.

void operator=(double pressure);

Example:

mySensor = 1013.25;  // Set pressure to 1013.25 hPa
