They dont work!!! ☹ Homey pro doesnt add them. I install it with ewelink app… google home and alexa linked them. Suggest?? ---

How are they linked to Google Home and Alexa? Either you have a hub for that, or they (also) use WiFi instead of just Matter. If they use a hub, you might be able to connect to the hub with Homey’s Matter support, and control the device that way. ---

I used ewelink app to connect them. Google home and alexa are linked to ewelink app. I dont use hub, they are wifi. When i try to use homey pro it try to connect but after 2-3 minute it say that it cant connect. ---

> [@JOHNNY\_ASSANTE](#): > > I dont use hub, they are wifi. Well, you use devices to be able to talk to Google and Alexa, so those will be hubs. If those hubs don’t provide a Thread Border Router, you won’t be able to make it work with Homey at the moment.

If those hubs don’t provide a Thread Border Router, you won’t be able to make it work with Homey at the moment. Since SONOFF MINIR4M runs Matter over WiFi and not over Matter over Thread then a Thread Border Router is not necessery. ---

Do you have a Homey Pro 2023? If so, then you should skip the eWeLink and add the SONOFF MINIR4M as a Matter device, ---

Have you successfully joined the device to any other Matter controller, then you must get your Matter setup QR from that first Matter controller. ---

Are you adding them with matter?? I had to try 4-5 times but in the end they were recognized. But with matter does the installation start and doesnt finish or homey doesnt find them? ---
