Wi-Fi Soft AP commissioning support status for ESP32-C3 in ESP-Matter SDK #11550
-
With Matter v1.4 released, is there a way to enable Soft-AP provisioning on the ESP32-C3 instead of relying on BLE? I want to avoid using BLE altogether.
Also, do Apple HomeKit and Google Home apps fail to recognize Wi-Fi Soft AP during provisioning? In other words, is a BLE chip required for device provisioning with these platforms?

It is possible. Are you using IDF + ESP Matter repository?

Within https://github.com/espressif/esp-matter there is a sdkconfig setting to activate WiFi Soft AP and disable BLE provisioning:
# Disable Bluetooth
CONFIG_BT_ENABLED=n
CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_ENABLED=n
# Enable Matter over WiFi and SoftAP advertising
CONFIG_ENABLE_WIFI_STATION=y
CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_SOFTAP_SUPPORT=y

Thank you for your help! It’s now clear that I can use Wi-Fi SoftAP for provisioning and commissioning. However, I’d like to know—does Apple HomeKit or Google Home support Wi-Fi provisioning in this way?
