With 110+ stable releases and almost 400 total releases including alpha and testing channels, u/xRiDDiXx took on the project on January 25th, 2025 from the original developer t0bst4r and managed to resolve hundreds of issues and add a multitude of new features.

On top of all the work, he still manages to reply to every single bug, feature, enhancement reported on GitHub and manages to push updates at lightning speeds.
If you don’t know the project here’s a short description from his GitHub. It is similar/alternative to MatterBridge.
https://github.com/RiDDiX/home-assistant-matter-hub
This project simulates bridges to publish your entities from Home Assistant to any Matter-compatible controller like Alexa, Apple Home or Google Home. Using Matter, those can be connected easily using local communication without the need of port forwarding etc.
It is very hard to miss, but for anyone who wants to donate you have to scroll all the way to the bottom.
Donations are completely voluntary! I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported this project - it wasn't necessary, but it truly means a lot. This project exists because of passion for open source, not money.
This project has transformed my HA’s integration with Alexa into a simple and powerful local instance that works perfectly now with echo devices, without the need to complicate setups with AWS and open instances.
My massive appreciation and huge thanks to you Maximilian, you deserve the exposure, stars and donations that come your way.
