Has anyone tried pairing/using the Third Reality Matter Keyboard MK1, and sucessfully associated it with Homey Pro 2023 or associated Homey Pro with another Matter Controller hosting the keyboard?

There is a Third Reality App for the keyboard, and during inclusion, it finds the keyboard, configures the WiFij, and says that is is connecting and transferring information, and then ends with the “Unable to Connect” message.

I am able to setup the keyboard with the manufacturers 3R-Installer, and with Home Assistant, no problem. I tried setting up the keyboard with Homey by using a pairing code from Home Assistant or the 3R-Installer matter controller, and it finds, connects, and then ends with “Unable to Connect” message.

I thought Matter was supposed to make smart home setup easier. If you were successful setting up the keyboard with Homey, how did you do it?

I thought ThirdReality only has ZigBee devices?

Maybe someday, but not as it is now. I’ve had nothing but problems with Matter.

Are the Homey, the phone and the ThirdReality on the same network?

A fix is on the way! It has the same issue as the newly released Meross MS605 Presence Sensor, its a fault in the Matter implementation of the device.
