Can endpoints be dynamically added or removed after adding clusters for matter?

[panypan]

Hello!

Our client encountered a problem in the development of Matter: the client wants to add or reduce endpoints dynamically during user usage after adding a cluster. Is this feasible?

Customers base on ncs v2.7.0: ncs\v2.7.0\nrf\samples\matter\light_switch

Thanks!

Hi, 

It's possible to add or reduce endpoints dynamically in run time. However, you need to know what types of endpoints you will support in compilation time because the compiler has to include files containing clusters implementation that you will use. For example, you need to know that you will support the OnOff light at compilation time, but you don't need to know how many endpoints will represent this type (you can create 1, or a few or even disable it and do not expose any). It can be done using the dynamic endpoints concept in Matter. You can take a look at this example from the Matter upstream: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/examples/bridge-app/linux/main.cpp
