Can't Connect Aqara Hub to HA Matter

bwoodworth · March 4, 2024, 5:40pm

I am trying to connect my Aqara M2 hub to Home Assistant via Matter. I attempt to connect using the HA mobile app, but it always says something went wrong. I have my phone and the M2 hub connected to the same network with access to HA. I have enabled ipv6 in HA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The log for the Matter add-on shows this:

Problem solved.

Matter doe4sn’t appear to work when using VLANs. I had my hub connect to my IoT VLAN and it wouldn’t connect to HA. I reset the hub and connected it to my default network and it connected on the first try.

HA is lacking a lot in IPv6 support, but it could be made to work.
IPv6 is not just IPv4 with more addresses, so you would need to understand how it works.
Your issue was probably that your fe80 network that the Matter addon uses exist on all your interfaces, but they are different networks. This is one of the new things with IPv6.
