Help Needed !- I have my HA IPv6 set to automatic , my dream machine pro is set swell still I am not able to add the lock to HA , I am on firmware 77 any help is appreciated
can you tell me what u did>
hi @macguy81,
I first added the lock to Apple Home
In Home assistant I simply enabled ipv6 as shown here:
Prior to that, I have configured Thread, where I selected my GoogleNest router as the preferred border router, because my AppleTVs are not powered on all the time.
Then I added a Matter device that already is in use, chose Apple Home, activated pairing mode in Apple home, copied the setup code, and connected successfully
Please let me know if you still need any further details.

Thanks for the response ! I have a very similar setup. I’ve set the Google Nest Hub as my preferred device and was able to enable Matter on the Google Home app, which I then used with the Aqara Matter Hub. Initially, HomeKit didn’t work, so I created a new Home in the Home app and added the devices again — that worked. However, as soon as I connected Homebridge from Home Assistant, things stopped working. It seems related to how Home Assistant handles IPv6, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact issue. For now, I’m using a fake switch to link Google Home to Home Assistant as a temporary workaround.
Assuming there has not been any progress on getting access to more features via HA?
I’ve been playing with the idea of using the keypad to arm and disarm an alarm system, but that doesn’t seem to be possible at the moment. Shame really, that this isn’t possible at all, other than using the state of the lock itself, which may be unreliable in some cases.
