TL;DR: Use my.homey.app to add Matter-over-Thread devices, because it will solely use Homey’s TBR

It’s a nightmare, but doable:
A. Quick workaround:
Get a factory resetted (old) phone to add Matter-over-Thread devices to Homey

or:
B. Another evening and all patience gone:

  • Remove the google home app
  • Clear cache, and all data for Google Play Services
  • Power off the Google Nest Hub device & wait for 5 mins
  • In the Homey app, go to Settings > Thread and let it sync - allow network access when requested;
    google TBR should have vanished

Yes (as in: I didn’t enable anything for it to work).
