Kwikset Halo Select not connecting via Matter

Devices
1

I bought a Kwikset Halo Select connect for the sole purpose of connecting it to Homey Pro via Matter over Thread. Unfortunately, per the attached screen shot, it appears this device is not certified for Matter? Does this appear to be an issue with Homey Pro or Kwikset? and / or can any other advice be provided to be able to connect this lock to Homey Pro?

I put in a support ticket with both Athom and Kwikset; I guess we’ll see what they say. My guess is that the lock is using Matter (1.3 perhaps) and Homey is only on 1.2. Idk just a thought.

Athom will say that it’s an issue with Kwikset because they need to certify their devices, but it’s happened before that devices that were certified were still rejected by Homey as being uncertified (looking here, the Halo Select seems to be certified recently, but Homey should download certification information periodically to keep its database up-to-date).

Also, Homey is about the only Matter controller that strictly rejects devices that aren’t certified.
