I have succesfully connected an IKEA Klippbok water leak sensore to my Homey using Matter over Thread (no IKEA bridge present). The sensor works, however when out of reach of my Homey Pro it is showing ‘not connected’, while it is actually sitting right next to my Homey Bridge.

My assumption is that Homey Bridge is supporting Thread? Or might this be a specific problem between the Klippbok and the bridge?

Any ideas or comments are welcome.

Homey Bridge does not support Thread. How did you even add it in the first place? Homey Cloud doesn’t even show the option for Matter.

It’s unclear to me whether you want to pair it with

or

Like Sven said, Homey Bridge does not provide for Thread/Matter.

Homey Pro (2023 and newer) does however, but to reach out-of-range devices for Matter-over-Thread, you’ll need to add a (few) Thread routers in the mix, in order to extend the range. Most mains powered Thread devices act as Thread router.
