Hi,
I just got a Smlight SLZB-MR5U and am trying to set it up on Home Assistant with Ikea Alpstuga air sensor, which is a Matter compatible device.
I followed Smlight’s documentation here: Thread setup (network ... | SMLIGHT Manuals
I’m using OTBR on the device itself and connecting to it from Home Assistant. So option B in the settings.
I tried setting it up with my Pixel 9A running Graphene OS.

As you can see, the device syncs threads credentials correctly. When I try to add a device, it lets me scan the QR code. But then it gets stuck at “No Wi-Fi connection”. I’ve tried giving Play Services all permissions possible and even disabled WiFi connectivity checks. Still it won’t let me get past this screen.
So I tried an another older phone Redmi A1 running Android 12. With this phone, I can’t seem to sync threads credentials at all and it gets stuck at “Matter is currently unavailable”.

I checked logs, but there is nothing important there, both for Matter server and HA container.

Please advise how I can fix this.
