I have just changed over from HomeKit experiments to matter for HomeKit. On changing over to matter I have lost all my light switches, thermostats and temperature sensors. switches are no neutral E1, thermostats are E1 the devices are seen in homey but not picked up on the HomeKit app. I am using a Aqara M3 hub. Any advice would be appreciated ---

Did you select the devices to be shared in the Matter App settings? ---

None of the devices appear, they cannot be selected, my older D1 switch appears but none of the H1 switches are available to select. ---

Maybe try Homekitty instead? ---

You could also try **HomeKit Device Bridge** : > **[HomeKit Device Bridge | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.homekit.devicebridge/HomeKit-Device-Bridge/)** > > Bring supported devices from your local Homey system into Apple Home with native HomeKit controls. I’ve been using it and it works very well. If the devices are already available in Homey, it can expose supported devices directly to Apple Home. It also supports more than just basic switches and sensors — things like air conditioners/thermostats and even TVs can be exposed to HomeKit as well. Might be worth trying in your case, especially since your E1/H1 devices are already visible in Homey. ---

I my experience the matter app does not expose all devices
