I Have a Switchbot Hub 2 with several devices attached. I selected the 8 devices that the hub exposes via Matter. They work fine with another Matter-compatible smarthome Hub. I don’t seem to be able to add them to Homey, if I try to add a Matter device, and paste the Matter code, it doesn’t find anything. Am I doing it wrong?

I’m sorry but I don’t see how that helps me… I already did that. It doesn’t find anything. Also it seem to be searching for a bluetooth or a thread device. But obviously this is not the case, because I’m adding a Matter Bridge (the switchbot hub)
