## Test with [chip-tool](https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/tree/master/examples/chip-tool)
Use standalone chip-tool app(linux) to communicate with the device.
Use standalone chip-tool app(linux) to communicate with the device. The Chip-tool is a software utility designed to assist developers and manufacturers working on Matter-compatible devices.
It provides various functionalities to interact with Matter-enabled devices, such as commissioning, controlling, and monitoring their operations.
The Chip-tool is an essential component for developers working on Matter devices as it allows them to validate their implementations, debug issues, and ensure interoperability with other Matter devices.
Additionally, it assists in configuring and managing Matter networks, making it easier for developers to create robust and reliable smart home and IoT solutions.

As a commissioner, the Chip-tool facilitates the provisioning and configuration of Matter devices within a network. It assigns necessary network addresses, security keys, and other parameters to newly added devices, ensuring their seamless integration into the Matter network.

In order to send commands to a device, the device must be commissioned into the Matter network. The configuration state for chip-tool is stored in `/tmp/chip_tool_config.ini`; deleting this and other `.ini` files in `/tmp` can sometimes resolve issues due to stale configuration.
