Hi folks.  
I’m trying to add a bunch of Nanoleaf bulbs and keep getting to the final bit only to be told  
Matter.  
Unable to connect.  
This device is already paired to this Homey Pro

Only it’s not.  
Any ideas

Should work

> Although Homey has Matter still in Beta and Thread isn’t released yet, I am curious what device are already available and talking Matter and over Thread? (For others over IP, see here: [[LIST] Does it Matter and Work over IP (NOT Thread)](https://community.homey.app/t/list-does-it-matter-and-work-over-ip-not-thread/99407) ) These are Devices we probably wil not see an App for in the Homey Appstore but might be interesting for the Gadget hungry with us. Athom’s Info what Matter and Thread is: [What is Matter? | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/what-is-matter/) and Current implementation status of Matter/ Thread in Homey …

I’d suggest to contact the developer, as shown at the app page @ homey.app

Matter devices need no app if they are to be connected via the Matter protocol.

So I factory reset the bulbs.  
I don’t know if the issue was putting them in the nanoleaf app before trying to bring them to Apple and homey.  
Last time I did this I put them in Nanoleaf and it synced with Apple through matter.
