Looking for some assistance with adding Matter devices to Home Assistant.
First and foremost, I’m a newbie with HA. A buddy of mine set it up for me on a repurposed Dell workstation. My home is primarily Matter over Thread or Matter over WiFi devices, with Apple Home being my preferred platform. This works pretty well most of the time, with my Apple TV and HomePod minis acting as TBRs. I commission everything through Apple Home first. I’ve shared my Thread credentials with HA. I have some direct HA integrations - Govee, Tapo, etc, which I expose to Apple Home.
We have an Amazon thread network as well, but I’m trying to eliminate that to minimize interference and eventually remove it completely. As an interim step to appease my family, I’m removing devices from Amazon’s thread network and adding via Matter (multi admin from Apple) to HA, exposing them Amazon via Nabu Casa.
Yesterday, I was able to add four or five devices this to HA successfully via Matter and expose to Amazon Alexa. I could see the alerts from Apple Home and Amazon Alexa that the devices were added, but the HA interface just spun with “adding the device. This may take a minute or two.” I eventually X out and/or receive a message that it failed to add device, but see the devices in HA and Amazon Alexa are added. This morning, all of the devices I added yesterday are showing unavailable in HA and not responding in Alexa.
I’ve rebooted the HA, but no changes. What am I doing wrong?
