Matter: add support for the AirQuality cluster - #2891
Conversation
The Matter AirQuality cluster (0x005B) reports an overall air quality verdict as an enum (Unknown, Good, Fair, Moderate, Poor, VeryPoor, ExtremelyPoor). Gladys already handled the individual concentration clusters (PM2.5, PM10, CO2, VOC, NO2, formaldehyde) but not the overall verdict. Rather than a new protocol-named category (the existing voc-matter-index-sensor / no2-matter-index-sensor are documented as legacy exceptions in docs/specs/device-feature-categories.md), this adds a `level` type to the existing `airquality-sensor` category, next to the numeric `aqi` type. The value scale is the Matter one, which is also how Zigbee air quality sensors report an overall level. Only Unknown, Good and Poor are always part of the Matter enum, the four other levels are optional cluster features, so the device declares what it can publish through `supported_options`, like the air conditioning mode feature already does. Front side: type label and value labels in en/fr/de, icon, dashboard badge colors (same palette as the numeric air quality index) and MQTT catalog defaults.

Taxonomy looks right: a new
leveltype on the existingairquality-sensorcategory, Matter's 0–6 scale as the Gladys-wide enum, optional levels viasupported_options, and no protocol-named category. That matchesdocs/specs/device-feature-categories.md(rules 3, 5, 6, 7).Change requested — MQTT catalog plumbing still stamps the AQI unit on
levelfeatures.getDefaultUnitForFeaturenever consultsDEVICE_FEATURE_UNITS_BY_CATEGORY_AND_TYPE, andairquality-sensor/levelis not inCATEGORIES_WITHOUT_UNIT, so it falls through toDEVICE_FEATURE_UNITS_BY_CATEGORY['airquality-sensor'][0](aqi). The empty per-type list then hides the unit picker, so the user cannot clear it. Same pattern as water-heatermode: add the type toCATEGORIES_WITHOUT_UNIT(or teachgetDefaultUnitForFeatureto honor an empty per-type list).Follow-up, not a merge blocker for Matter inbound: HomeKit still maps only
airquality-sensor/aqi.buildAccessorydrops any type missing fromcapabilities, so a Matter AirQuality device (which this PR maps aslevel, neveraqi) will not expose HomeKit's requiredAirQualitycharacteristic. HomeKit's scale is also 0–5 (Excellent…Poor), not Matter's 0–6 — that conversion needs a conscious table, not a passthrough.Not
risk:high: additive type, no migration, no auth. Addingneeds:human-reviewfor the enum freeze (Matter 7-level vs HomeKit 5-level, "never both withaqi") and because this was not validated on a real AirQuality device. Requesting atrovato.Nits: the
AIR_QUALITY_LEVELcomment saysUNKNOWNmust not be charted, but Matter features still keep history andminisUNKNOWN(0), so a line chart will treat warm-up/fault as "better than Good". French value labels agree with qualité (f) while the type is Niveau (m) — fine if intentional.Sent by Cursor Automation: Automatic PR review
The `airquality-sensor/level` type was missing from `CATEGORIES_WITHOUT_UNIT`, so the MQTT device page fell back on the category default and created the feature with the `aqi` unit. The per-type unit list being empty then hid the unit picker, leaving no way to remove it and labelling a 0-6 enum as an AQI index in history charts. Also reword the `AIR_QUALITY_LEVEL` comment: `UNKNOWN` stays part of the value range (feature `min` and `supported_options`) so scenes can match it, so it does appear in history charts and the comment now says how to read it instead of claiming it is never charted. Autofix-Pass: 1

The MQTT catalog unit leak is fixed: airquality-sensor/level is now in CATEGORIES_WITHOUT_UNIT, so applyDefaultUnit no longer stamps aqi on a qualitative enum. The AIR_QUALITY_LEVEL comment now matches the contract (UNKNOWN stays in min / supported_options; a charted 0 is “no verdict”, not better-than-Good).
Taxonomy still looks right: a level type on the existing airquality-sensor category, Matter’s 0–6 scale as the Gladys-wide enum, optional Fair/Moderate/VeryPoor/ExtremelyPoor via supported_options, and no protocol-named category. That matches docs/specs/device-feature-categories.md (rules 3, 5, 6, 7, 8). CI is green (front, server, Cypress, Docker, codecov patch).
Follow-ups, not merge blockers. HomeKit still maps only airquality-sensor/aqi. buildAccessory drops unmapped types, so a Matter AirQuality device (this PR maps level, never aqi) will not expose HAP AirQuality. HomeKit’s scale is also 0–5 (Excellent…Poor), not Matter’s 0–6 — that needs a conversion table, not a passthrough. Already-paired Matter nodes will show as changed on the Matter devices page (compareDevices sees the extra feature) and can be re-saved there.
Not risk:high: additive type, no migration, no auth. Keeping needs:human-review for the enum freeze (Matter 7-level vs HomeKit 5-level, “never both with aqi”) and because this was not validated on a real AirQuality device. atrovato is already requested.

Description
The Matter
AirQualitycluster (id 91 /0x005B) exposes a singleairQualityattribute, an enum holding the overall air quality verdict the device computes itself:Unknown(0),Good(1),Fair(2),Moderate(3),Poor(4),VeryPoor(5),ExtremelyPoor(6). The Matter integration already handled the individual concentration clusters (PM2.5, PM10, CO2, VOC, NO2, formaldehyde) but not this overall verdict.Taxonomy choice — a new type, not a new category.
docs/specs/device-feature-categories.mdlistsvoc-matter-index-sensor/no2-matter-index-sensoras legacy exceptions that must not be used as precedents for new protocol-named categories, and rule 5 says not to create a category when a new type on an existing one is enough. So this adds aleveltype to the existingairquality-sensorcategory, next to the numericaqitype:DEVICE_FEATURE_TYPES.AIRQUALITY_SENSOR.LEVEL = 'level', values from the newAIR_QUALITY_LEVELconstant;aqiholds the numeric index,levelthe qualitative verdict, an integration maps whichever form its device natively reports and never both, and the raw concentrations behind the verdict keep going to their own per-pollutant categories;DEVICE_FEATURE_UNITS_BY_CATEGORY_AND_TYPE(aqi→ AQI,level→ none).Per-device value set through
supported_options(rule 6). OnlyUnknown,GoodandPoorare always part of the Matter enum —Fair,Moderate,VeryPoorandExtremelyPoorare each behind an optional cluster feature. The newairQualityMatterMapping.jsbuilds the feature'ssupported_optionsfrom the cluster's supported features, exactly likegetAcModeSupportedOptionsdoes for the air conditioning mode, andmin/maxfollow that list.Server changes:
server/services/matter/utils/convertToGladysDevice.js: discovery of theAirQualitycluster as a read-onlyairquality-sensor/levelfeature;server/services/matter/lib/matter.listenToStateChange.js: subscription to theairQualityattribute;server/services/matter/lib/matter.readInitialDeviceStates.js: initial read so the feature has a value right after pairing;server/services/matter/utils/airQualityMatterMapping.js(new): supported-options mapping;server/services/matter/README.md:AirQualityrow moved to handled, counters and percentage updated (27 / 132 = 20.5%).Front changes (full plumbing per rule 8):
en,frandde;front/src/utils/consts.js;BadgeNumberDeviceValuenow allows a type-specific color method, so the level does not get read on the numeric-index scale (where it would stay green forever). The level uses the same palette as the AQI index, and an out-of-enum value falls back on the shared "unknown" label instead of an empty badge;min/max/read_onlyand catalog preview value/label for the new type.Scene triggers and the history grouping needed no change:
getDeviceFeatureValueOptionspicks up the numeric value labels automatically, andairquality-sensoris already in the climate history group.Forum
