Hello all!
I’m trying to set up the Jink 8E, which is a tablet charger controllable with Matter over Thread, but I’m encountering issues adding it to my thread network. This is my first Matter over Thread device.
I have currently got HAOS set up on my N100 Mini PC, via Proxmox. I also have set up the SkyConnect for use as a Open Thread Border Router. I have tried multiple times to add the new device via
- HA Android App
- HA iOS App
- Google Home app (I have a Google Hub 2)
- Manually, through passing through a BT adaptor, using the Matter Server add on.
On the final attempt, I was able to observe the logs, and noted the following error:
2025-01-27 16:07:15.711 (Dummy-3)

[chip.ChipDeviceCtrl] Established secure session with Device2025-01-27 16:08:17.535 (Dummy-3)

Effectively, there seems to be a timeout resolving the URL via mDNS. While it is not clear, I suspect it might be the OTBR URL, as detailed here:
I tried directly assessing the above URL through my browser, but was not able to, nor through command pings:
I am able to ping homeassistant.local
and directly have it return the IPv6 address beginning with fe80
I’ve found below, but have not had any luck reaching the one starting with fda9, which I suspect might be my OTBR.
For additional context, I have set up my router to enable IPv6 over LAN, but not from my ISP.
I’ve been troubleshooting this for the past few days, and have really hit a dead end here unfortunately. If anyone would be able to lend an insight I’d be very grateful!
