Can anyone help with how to add these thread but not matter blinds? They have the 8-digit code, but I cannot find a way to add them as a device. ---

> [@Zappel](#): > > They have the 8-digit code That sounds like a HomeKit-over-Thread device. Without a HomeKit hub (like an Apple TV or a HomePod) you won’t be able to make them work with Homey. ---

I do have two thread border routers, Apple TV and a mini HomePod. It would be disappointing not to be able add these to Homey somehow. I added Aqara devices using the App, hopefully something similar gets developed for Thread only devices. ---

It’s not a “Thread-only device”, it’s a “HomeKit-over-Thread device”, which is a specific Apple protocol. If you want any chance of it working, you need to add your device to your HomeKit setup, and then see if you can add it as a Matter device to Homey. ---

Thanks for the reply Robert. I do have all my devices in HomeKit. The blinds were easy to add. I could not figure out any way to get what is in Home to the Homey Pro. I have been using Homebtidge on a Raspberry Pi for non HomeKit devices, I was hoping the Homey Pro would be easy for all devices. ---

> [@Zappel](#): > > I could not figure out any way to get what is in Home to the Homey Pro You have to find out if it’s possible (somewhere in the Home app) to get a Matter QR or pairing code for the device, which you can then use to add the device in Homey. It should be an 11 or a 21-digit code (not the 8-digit code, that’s only for HomeKit). ---

Knowing Apple I doubt that’s possible. I appreciate your help. Thank You.
