Can't connect IKEA matter devices

ik verbind eerst alle nieuwe componenten met de ikea app zelf

daarna open ik homey en lees ik in 1 beweging alle nieuwe componenten in homey

Just as a side note, I am able to add the sensor to Apple HomeKit for some reason.
Isn’t that strange?

I understand what you’re saying @bart_ghysel since I’m Dutch too, but please use the English language in this part of the Community , so everybody can understand your reply :laughing:

You can use the QR code or de codes

Interesting, although yet to discover if I received a faulty or damaged in transit Homey Pro, but it took two days for me to connect a dozen or so IKEA devices, to the Homey Pro.

However, once obtained a matter capable Apple TV, it took twenty minutes!?

Think Homey has an issue?

This did the trick. update ikea app, then i went to ikea app and restarted it and immediatlky after 2 days of fighting i worked.

yep, that is how I do it: connect Matter devices to Homekit first and then share them to Homey. Added advantage is that you will get OTA updates via Apple Home every now and then.

I have 17 different Ikea Matter devices connected directly to my HP23. They work perfectly when pairing them. Just insert the battery or plug in the lamp and the devices automatically go into pairing mode, and Homey finds them immediately.

However, four Kajplats lamps broke within a period of five days. They were only about 1.5–2 months old. That was very strange, and it certainly makes you wonder about the build quality. But Ikea replaced them right away — excellent customer service.
