We built a testbed specifically designed to evaluate the Matter protocol in a smart home environment. This testbed is unique in its ability to capture traffic through all stages of an IoT device’s life cycle, including the commissioning phase. Our testbed offers an extensible platform that uses open-source tools, add-ons, and APIs. The testbed served as a research platform for graduate students undertaking a course project focused on security and privacy in IoT devices. We provide an overview of areas of improvement and enhancement for future iterations of this testbed.
