Hi,
I picked up 4 of these yesterday. Homey pro 2023. Insert batteries, orange light blinking. Device near Homey. Add matter device, scan QR code, time-out. With every one if the same story. Ikea Ladda batteries freshly charged. Reboot Homey no difference.

I know this does help, but same here. I also have 2 of the new dimmer controls & they won’t connect either. The Homey finds them, attaches to Thread then gets stuck “Getting Device Data” or something like that.
Guess this a new matter version of the switch. Buttons inside different then what I find on pictures googling.
Looks like a generic issue

Mainly see problems after connecting homey to the device. Problem is I cannot get the device (any of the 4) connected to Homey what ever way: Matter App PC/Phone, Ikea App PC/Phone. I have yet to discover the slightest sign homey is aware or the device, I tried 2 meter distance, 20 cm distance, lay on top of Homey.
I bought 2 of them yesterday but having the same problem. What you see (I used the webinterface) that the device is connecting with bluetooth (that is the reason why the device has to be close to Homey) Homey sees that it is a Thread device, switches to Thread and tries to make a connection on the Thread network. Then after a while it times out.
If you check the developer page you see that it tries to connect but fails so there is no information about the end device and no IPv6 address. In the picture you see I tried it 5 times (I did reset the Bilresa each time).
I saw a video on Youtube where someone is adding these Ikea devices to Homey without any issue but he uses an Android phone which discovers Homey as a borderrouter and uses that information to pair the device. Unfortunately this does not work on an iPhone, you have to use the webinterface.
I was able to pair the Bilresa button without any problems. I myself have an Android phone and the button connected via the Homey network (not the Android network). Did you use an Android or Apple phone?
