In this ticket I wanted to explore the possibility of bridging the gap between Matter (open IoT) and the Web/Browser.

There are a number of projects on the browser side working on similar topics. Namely:

  • The Remote Playback API: Allowing media content (HTMLMediaElement) to be casted from the browser to a display.
  • The Presentation API: Allowing web content to be presented on a remote presentation display.
  • The Local Peer-to-Peer API: An API to allow data communication between devices on the local network.

Notably all these APIs share a protocol stack: They are all built on top of the Open Screen Protocol (OSP). This protocol is being defined by the W3C Second Screen Working Group. There is an Open Screen Library implementation being built in the Chromium codebase.

The OSP protocol stack uses mdns for peer discovery and an authentication step to establish certificate pairs between peers. This is higly similar to the Matter approach. One key difference is that OSP establisches more point-to-point connections between peers, while Matter establishes a common 'Fabric' among the devices. The Second Screen WP has show interest in exploring potential allignment between the OSP and Matter protocol as discussed in w3c/openscreenprotocol#308.

Can we reopen? @Stale bot is such an awful tyrant.

There is certainly still interest in this topic. I updated the OP to reflect the latest thinking. From the browser side, we'd like to explore potential synergies between the Matter and the Open Screen Protocol as discussed in w3c/openscreenprotocol#308.

We're looking for a good way to continue this conversation between the standards efforts/organisations.
