Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

matter-ble-proxy

Python client library for the OHF Matter Server BLE proxy WebSocket protocol.

The matter-server can run on a host with no BLE adapter and delegate every BLE operation to a separate process or device. This library implements the client side of that protocol so that any Python process with access to a BLE adapter (via Bleak, Home Assistant's bluetooth component, an ESPHome BLE proxy, ...) can act as the BLE bridge.

The protocol is documented in docs/ble-proxy-protocol.md.

Install

pip install matter-ble-proxy

Python 3.12+ required.

Standalone CLI

The package ships a reference CLI mirroring the JS noble-ble-proxy example. Useful for testing the matter-server's /ble endpoint without Home Assistant in the loop.

# Start the matter-server with --ble-proxy in one terminal, then:
matter-ble-proxy --server ws://localhost:5580/ble

The CLI uses Bleak directly against the local OS bluetooth adapter.

Library API

For integrators (Home Assistant, custom add-ons, etc.) wire your own BLE source in by implementing two ABCs:

from matter_ble_proxy import (
    AdvertisementData,
    BleDeviceResolver,
    BleScanSource,
    MatterBleProxy,
)

class MyScanSource(BleScanSource):
    async def start(self, callback): ...    # call `callback(AdvertisementData(...))`
    async def stop(self): ...

class MyDeviceResolver(BleDeviceResolver):
    async def resolve(self, address): ...   # return a bleak.BLEDevice / address / None

proxy = MatterBleProxy(
    ws_url="ws://localhost:5580/ble",
    scan_source=MyScanSource(),
    device_resolver=MyDeviceResolver(),
)
await proxy.connect()
await proxy.run_until_closed()
await proxy.disconnect()

The default Bleak-backed implementations (BleakScanSource, BleakDeviceResolver) live in matter_ble_proxy.bleak_backend.

Reconnection

MatterBleProxy does not reconnect on its own. When the WebSocket closes — server restart, network blip, or the caller calling disconnect() — run_until_closed() returns after the library releases all BLE resources (active scan stopped, every peripheral disconnected). The caller decides whether to reconnect:

  • The bundled CLI exits on disconnect; restart it manually.
  • Home Assistant ties the BLE proxy lifecycle to the matter-server WebSocket: when HA reconnects to the matter-server it constructs and connects a fresh MatterBleProxy for the new session.
  • A custom integration can wrap connect() + run_until_closed() in a retry loop with whatever backoff and cancellation policy fits its supervisor.

The library deliberately stays out of this decision so it can plug into hosts that already own reconnect logic (HA, systemd, etc.) without fighting them.

Development

This package lives inside the matter-js/matterjs-server repo and shares its release pipeline. From the repo root:

npm run python-ble-proxy:install      # create venv + install editable + test deps
npm run python-ble-proxy:lint         # ruff
npm run python-ble-proxy:typecheck    # mypy
npm run python-ble-proxy:test         # pytest
npm run python-ble-proxy:build        # build sdist+wheel
