Hi everyone, I’m running the new Homey Self-Hosted Server in a Docker container on an Unraid host. While the server is running great for Wi-Fi devices, I am consistently failing to pair a Tado Smart Thermostat X (Matter-over-Thread). The Setup: Host: Unraid (Host network mode, privileged, IPv6…

Once you’ve added a Matter-over-Thread device with Android, it sticks to the choice of Thread Border Router you made at the time. The only way to change that, is to factory reset your phone, or, better, grab an old(er) Android device and factory reset it, install Homey app and add the Matter-over-…

Just confirming I seem to run into the same problem. My thread border router is an apple tv/homepods. I can connect the Lafaer sensor to Apple’s Home and then pair the same sensor to Home Assistant by putting it in pair mode in Apple Home (getting the pair code from apple home). This works perfectly…

Running on a mac mini with orbstack. When I navigate to logs of the container this shows. I guess it’s basic docker logs.

I noticed that I have no issue connecting a matter (over thread) device to the homey-pro, but I do when trying to connect it to the Self hosted server (synology + container manager). I can find the device and seems to be connecting it to the network, but when trying to connect to it an ‘unable to co…

That makes sense. Homey Pro creates it’s own Thread network using the build in Thread border router, while SHS depends on an external thread border router like some Apple devices or Google Nest Hub. The problem seems to be that SHS is unable to connect to Matter devices over the external thread bor…

For the record, I am able to connect to Matter devices over WiFi succesfully. It’s the Tread part that’s not working in SHS.

IPv6? [image] Thread Border Router From what I’ve read, if you have a Thread border router (of any kind), Homey-SHS should be able to pick it up and use it, provided that SHS is set up correctly (in terms of IPv6 requirements).

Matter also requires IPv6, so if Matter-over-WiFi devices are working you would expect IPv6 to be up and running. However, there are some IPv6 intricacies that need to be working too, like router advertisements. I think those are not necessarily a requirement for Matter-over-WiFi, but they are for T…

Fact is that Home Assistant can adopt a matter device that is first connected to Apple Home, using the apple tv as thread border router. The very same steps with Homey result in an error. Still can’t connect these sensors directly nor via the pairing mode in Apple Home. Homey SHS runs in Orbstack …
