IKEA Matter unable to connect

Questions & Help

Hi,

I know there are some matter posts with unstable devices and loosing connectivity.
My problem is a bit different.

Background: Had Pro 2019 for a couple of years and migrated to Pro 2026 just a few weeks ago to get Matter support and more stability.

Problem:
I now got my first IKEA MYGGSPRAY sensor and this is my first Matter device.
I tried both via the WEB app and the iOS app to add the device, failed 6-7 times on Threads connection. It seems to timeout.
I have restarted Homey, resetted the MYGGSPRAY and even put the sensor on top of the Homey. Nothing works.
I am kind of starting to wonder if I cannot connect them directly to the Homey and need some kind of hub?
Anyone who had the same challenge and found a solution?
Thanks!

Hi,
It is the same problem all others have too.
I have 11 myggbett sensors, only three connected to my HP23 and lost it in the meantime. The others failed to switch from bluetooth to thread. It is an ikea problem.
You do not need another hub or controller. That is the advantage of matter…

So, the solution is to just turn it back to IKEA and wait until they sort it out?
Really frustrating.

I will wait until the OTA update comes in Q1 2o26 and i can make an firmwareupdate of the myggbett Sensors with the HP23…

or connect them to Homekit too if you have that. Homekit does support OTA (although I do not see many updates coming)

If you are pairing via iOS then try to restart your iPhone and make sure the device is somewhat close to the phone and Homey Pro when pairing.

You can also switch all of the new Ikea devices to Zigbee mode if you still run into problems.

Just as a side note, I am able to add the sensor to Apple HomeKit for some reason.
Isn’t that strange?
