Usage

Commissioning Matter device

Follow the steps below to automatically commission a matter device.

$ ui-automator --commission DEVICE_NAME,PAIRING_CODE,ROOM_NAME [--google_account <GOOGLE_ACCOUNT>]

• DEVICE_NAME: desired Matter device, e.g. m5stack
• PAIRING_CODE: pairing code of your Matter device, e.g. 34970112332
• ROOM_NAME: room that is going to be assigned, e.g. Office
• GOOGLE_ACCOUNT: Optional. Account to use in Google Home App, e.g. test@gmail.com

Decommissioning Matter device

Follow the steps below to decommission a matter device.

$ ui-automator --decommission DEVICE_NAME [--google_account <GOOGLE_ACCOUNT>]

• DEVICE_NAME: display name of commissioned Matter device on GHA, e.g. m5stack
• GOOGLE_ACCOUNT: Optional. Account to use in Google Home App, e.g. test@gmail.com

Regression Test

Follow the steps below to run a regression test.

$ ui-automator --commission DEVICE_NAME,PAIRING_CODE,ROOM_NAME --regtest [--repeat <REPEAT_TIMES>] [--hub <HUB_VERSION>] [--dut <MODEL>,<TYPE>,<PROTOCOL>] [--fw <DEVICE_FIRMWARE>] [--google_account <GOOGLE_ACCOUNT>]

• DEVICE_NAME: desired Matter device, e.g. m5stack
• PAIRING_CODE: pairing code of your Matter device, e.g. 34970112332
• ROOM_NAME: room that is going to be assigned, e.g. Office
• --repeat: Optional. Specifies the number of times to repeat the regression test.
  • REPEAT_TIMES: Number of times to repeat the regression test, e.g., 10.
• --hub: Optional. Includes the hub version in the test report.
  • HUB_VERSION: Version of the hub controlling the devices in GHA, e.g., 1.0.0
• --dut: Optional. Includes the device under test information in the test report.
  • MODEL: Model of the device. e.g. X123123
  • TYPE: Type of the device. e.g. LIGHT
  • PROTOCOL: Protocol used by the device. e.g. MATTER
• --fw: Optional. Includes the device firmware in the test report.
  • DEVICE_FIRMWARE: Firmware of test device.
• GOOGLE_ACCOUNT: Optional. Account to use in Google Home App, e.g. test@gmail.com

Roadmap

• Commissioning Matter device
• Decommissioning Matter device
• Regression test of cycling commissioning/decommissioning
• Support regression test for devices that need additionally manual operations after decommissioning to recover to BLE commissioning mode
• Share Fabric
• Get pairing code when sharing fabric

Notice

• While UI Automation is processing, interfering android phone with any UI operation might fail the automation.
