Help adding Eve Flare to HA

Hi All,

Does anyone have any idea - trying to add an Eve Flare. I add it to Apple, remove it - it instantly pops up as a new device to add in Home Assistant.

But then I get…

Any ideas?

cheers

PS have tried adding and removing it 5 or 6 times.

It’s going to sleep on you. Make sure it’s on the charger and turned on and be snappy when you remove it from homekit.

Thanks - just tried again, it is on the base and I must have clicked the link within 1 or 2 seconds but exactly the same issue. Looking at it - it looks like an IPv6 address. Home Assistant is running on a docker with only IP4 - could this be the issue?

Cheers

Looking at it again - it would appear that Home Assistant itself is trying to add it rather than via my apple tv?!? Has this changed recently.

I found a couple of other people with issues on the github.

Cheers

Cany anyone else offer any insight - this is REALLY frustrating me. Cheers!

hmmm I see that

Eve Flare is a Minimal Thread Device (MTD) – but what does that mean?
The current version of Eve Flare supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only other thing you need is a is a home hub (Thread border router). Battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Flare, represent endpoints in your Thread network.

Does this mean I have to have thread setup in HA to use it?
