By the way, can it be certified by Matter?

I think this project is great. By the way, can it be certified by Matter?（CSA） Otherwise, many apps may not work, such as Tuya App. I looked at it but didn't see the. zap file, which is required for authentication. Also, is this based on Matter 1.3? Thank you.
The attached image is the ZAP file of the Matter source code.

if you donate roughly 30k EUR initially and 5+k EUR a year then that might be possible ;-)

In fact Tuya works - if they would properly support bridges which is not the case! Currently Yandex and Aqara Hub M3 (maybe still, might change) are the only two controllers known to currently not allowing uncertified devices.

This seems like a lot,I don't have that much money, but we can find a way to crowdfund together. This may be possible. By the way, where can I find a .ZAP file? I can use it for compliance testing. Also, can I use Samsung's SmartThings app? Thank you.

compliance testing? What do you plan?

ZA files are generated by device as I know ... best check the official C++ Matter SDK for details on this.
Ad yes Smartthings work too as a Controller.

My good friend works in the Matter certification laboratory, and I can have him test it without spending money and provide us with the results. I am interested in this project and willing to provide any assistance I can. But I don't know how to provide the ZAP file to him.
