Matter Hub Prompt Library · Stable 2.0.55
52 searchable, copyable work prompts
Replace bracketed placeholders with data from your environment. Every prompt requests English output and defaults to verification first, Preview second and changes last. You must still approve any reset, restore, fabric or plugin action.

Apple/Google/Alexa
Write a pre-commissioning check for Apple Home and [bridge name]. Cover only the home hub, network, bridge status, low-risk test devices and de-identified evidence; do not output a pairing code. Answer in English.
Create synchronization and room-organization tests for [device-type list] in Google Home. Record app display names, controls, state reporting, voice results and unsupported items. Answer in English.
Plan first commissioning and a scale test for [bridge name] with Amazon Alexa. Add [batch size] endpoints per batch; treat every count as an environmental observation, never a universal limit. Answer in English.
Compare how Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa present [the same device set]. Report conclusions separately by controller; do not infer results for either of the others from one success. Answer in English.
Aqara/SmartThings
Design a Matter Hub pilot for Aqara [hub model/firmware version]. List the region, device types, app presentation and basic controls to verify; do not promise compatibility in advance. Answer in English.
Create a commissioning, driver/device-type, room, control and state-reporting test table for SmartThings [hub model/firmware version]. Answer in English.
Compare verified, unverified and not-applicable items for [device-type list] on Aqara and SmartThings. Include a source or test-evidence field for every conclusion. Answer in English.
Given [controller error message], create a minimal reproduction: a single-subnet baseline, one bridge, one device type, de-identified logs and stop conditions. Answer in English.
Multi-fabric
Plan how [bridge name] will join [controller A] and [controller B] using multi-fabric. Back up first; record join order, status, owner and removal recovery method. Do not show any pairing secrets. Answer in English.
Review [fabric status summary] for orphan, session or subscription problems. Request only read-only checks and evidence; do not remove anything or reset. Answer in English.
Design a multi-fabric regression test. Operate [device] in [controller A], verify state reporting in [controller B] and HA, and record latency, offline and reconnection results. Answer in English.
Write a change plan for removing [specified fabric], including impact assessment, approval, backup, downtime notice, post-change verification and recovery on failure. Do not execute it. Answer in English.
Networking and discovery
Use [network topology] to check Matter Hub, controller, VLAN, IPv6, mDNS and firewall prerequisites. Provide the test order without requesting private IP addresses or hostnames. Answer in English.

Analyze [de-identified mDNS test result]. Distinguish absent advertisements, cross-subnet failure, firewall-blocked replies, name-resolution problems and application-layer errors. Answer in English.
Write base-path and authentication checks for [reverse proxy/Ingress path]. Treat Basic Auth only as a single authentication layer; do not infer multi-account access, RBAC or SSO. Answer in English.
