[request] New device Types Matter 1.3

[tiziano149]

Hi, I'd like to suggest including the new device types from Matter 1.3 into the Silicon Labs Arduino Matter library. This update would allow developers to integrate a wider variety of devices. Here’s the full list of new device types.

Especially the new appliances in 1.3 look interesting to experiment with:

Utility Device Types:

Root Node
Power Source
OTA Requestor
OTA Provider
Bridged Node
Electrical Sensor
Device Energy Management

Application Device Types:

Lighting:

On/Off Light
Dimmable Light
Color Temperature Light
Extended Color Light

Smart Plugs/Outlets and Other Actuators:

On/Off Plug in Unit
Dimmable Plug in Unit
Pump
Water Valve

Switches and Controls:

On/Off Light Switch
Dimmer Switch
Color Dimmer Switch
Control Bridge
Pump Controller
Generic Switch

Sensors:

Contact Sensor
Light Sensor
Occupancy Sensor
Temperature Sensor
Pressure Sensor
Flow Sensor
Humidity Sensor
On/Off Sensor
Smoke CO Alarm
Water Freeze Detector
Water Leak Detector
Rain Sensor

Closures:

Door Lock
Door Lock Controller
Window Covering
Window Covering Controller

HVAC:

Heating/Cooling Unit
Thermostat
Fan
Air Purifier

Adding these would make the library more versatile and useful. More details can be found in the Matter Device Types documentation.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
