Matter/Thread: connecting new device gets stuck in "Checking network connection"

Thanks @Pierre84000 and @agners for your patience.

With your explanations I was able to connect the Siegenia window handle.There now is a new device “Smart window handle”. HA immediately proposed to update it from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, which I just did. One has to rediscover it through “Interview”, but it works.

It does lock and unlock.
