I got a couple of the D1-M Matter-over-thread door sensors and after a few issues they generally work. Perhaps a firmware update would help, but the update keeps failing.
I am on version 1.0 and HA offered an update to 1.1. I started the update but after showing a progress bar for multiple minutes it failed. The only effect was that the sensor state was toggled from closed to open. I opened and closed the window and the state was correct again.
I tried this repeatedly on two of these sensors and again after the 1.2 version was offered. The same failure with the same side effect on the sensor state happens every time. There have been several HA reboots, restarts, and updates along the way and none of that seems to matter.
Has anyone else used these particular sensors with Home Assistant? Updated firmware successfully? Might this be something that works better on other platforms, or is this sensor just not very good?
I have 12 matter devices, mostly using Thread. Most of them have been perfect and others have occasional issues, but these have been the most troublesome.
I am using HA Yellow with a CM-5 processor. Core 2025.11.3, Supervisor 2025.11.5, Operating System 16.3, Frontend 20251105.1. The sensors are just a few feet from a rock-solid Eve outlet which is one of the thread routers.
