Hello,
the Matter integration of Home Assistant uses “Belegung” as translation for occupancy. This translation doesn’t fit very well in my opinion. According to the values the sensor can have I would suggest “Bewegung” as a better translation choice.
I would vote against “Bewegung”, as this is only really fitting for motion sensors, as occupancy sensors also register occupancy if there is no motion/Bewegung.
While I understand your slight problems with “Belegung”, as this is more fitting with hotels and hospitals, I still think there needs to be a differentiation to motions sensors for occupancy sensors.
My suggestion would be “Anwesenheit”.
I agree that’s the better option.
Has anyone of you already added a matter device via the SkyConnect?
For me, this only works as long as a second Boarder router (HomePod mini) is in use.
As soon as the Homepod mini is removed, there is only an error message that a boarder router must be available.
I have tested this with a Eve motion with Matter firmware.
Yes, I did manage to make this work. It needed a bit of tinkering because I was using the container version of Home Assistant, but after I moved to Home Assistant OS it worked fine.
Like described in the following article, it is required that you enable the experimental multiprotocol support of the SkyConnect stick.
I have successfully added the Eve motion matter. But when I then removed the HomePod mini, the Eve Motion in Home Assistant was no longer accessible and could not be added again.
The error message came that a boarder router is required.
the SkyConnect is listed in the integration Open Thread Border Router and in the Matter integration
Yes I have.
