Bought a 3-pack for use with Homey Pro as thread router. One continues to work like a dream. Two of them would not work consistently. Maybe a QC problem. The design is clunky and not great for certain doors or sliders. Recommend the Aqara P2. ---

As already described several times in other topics (use Search), you generally have to use Apple-Thread, then everything works perfectly. > [@stephen\_brown](#): > > The design is clunky and not great for certain doors or sliders.

Thank you! The matter integration after some trial and error on my part was great. I am not seeing a way to read the dimming level yet for the dimmer switch, but Iā€™ll dig around. Also the Matter sharing in Homey worked beautifully. I canā€™t say whether the whole thing also works via Android. I only have HomePods and AppleTVs around, so why shouldnā€™t I use them if they work and they also set up a mesh network for me. In addition, I have connected all devices to the EveHome app (now also available for Android) via ā€œ[device] \> Settings \> Maintenance \> Matter Nodeā€. This has the advantage that the Thread network is no longer a blackhole but only a ā€œgrayholeā€ and hopefully the OTA problem is now solved (unfortunately I havenā€™t received an FW update yet to be sure). ---

I posted to provide information for others who, like me, are interested in thread over matter devices for their Homey Pro. Thanks for letting me know that I could have used an Apple router to make it work. But I donā€™t own one, and there might be other folks who want an out of the box solution for Homey Pro.
