+ +This section provides a bit more information on some of the categories: + +**Network type**: Shows which network type the device belongs to. For example, Thread or Wi-Fi. + +**Device type**: There are 4 device types: + +- **End device**: End device that always keeps its radio on. Typically these devices are not battery-powered. +- **Sleepy end device**: non-routing end device. Normally sleeping, wakes on occasion to check for messages. Typically battery-powered. +- **Routing end device**: End device that always keeps its radio on and can route traffic for other, routing and non-routing end devices. +- **Bridge** + +**Network name**: Name of the network the device joined when it was commissioned. + +**IP addresses**: Typically more than one IPv6 address is shown: link local, unique local, and global unicast. In some cases a device also supports IPv4. In that case there will also be listed an IPv4 address here. + ## Experiment with Matter using a ESP32 dev board You do not yet have any Matter-compatible hardware but you do like to try it out or maybe create your own DIY Matter device? We have [prepared a page for you](https://nabucasa.github.io/matter-example-apps/) where you can easily flash Matter firmware to a supported ESP32 development board. We recommend the M5 Stamp C3 device running the Lighting app. diff --git a/source/images/integrations/matter/matter_device-info.png b/source/images/integrations/matter/matter_device-info.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..bb4e8d825e2 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/images/integrations/matter/matter_device-info.png differ
