Hello,
I am struggling to get the SkyConnect stick running with Thread + Matter power plugs (both ONVIS and EVE) and I would be very thankful if someone could help me figuring out what the issue is.
I tested this with two systems (an AMD mini pc and a Pi 3) and each time I setup a fresh install of HA and have the same result.
The following information is based on the Raspberry pi 3 which has the following HA version:
Core: 2023.11.1
Supervisor: 2023.11.0
Operating System: 11.1
Frontend: 20231030.1
What did I do:
- I configured SkyConnect for the multi protocol support
- I added the integrations ‘Thread’, ‘Matter (Beta)’ and ‘Open Thread Border Router’ or some of the where added automatically by SkyConnect (I don’t recall).
- Configured everything als seen in the screenshots below.
- Used the HA Android app: Added a new Matter device. Scanned the matter QR code on the power plug. Then the app connected to the device. Afterwards gernerated matter credentials. Afterwards the network connectivity was checked and there it failed with the following message 'Can’t connect to thread network home-assistant. Check that your device can with this type and try again.'
Used Matter + Thread power plugs

- EVE: amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0BYTB11J3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What I tried so far:
- Flashed the stick through skyconnect.home-assistant again to the latest multiprotocol version.
- I have configured and tested different channels in SkyConnect.
- Removed the integrations ‘Thread’, ‘Matter (Beta)’ and ‘Open Thread Board Router’ and started the process from the beginning.
- Reset the boarder router and added the new preferred Thread network 'Thread ‘Silicon Labs Multiprotocol’.
- I plugged the SkyConnect directly into the Pi and also tried it with an USB extension cable and placed the SkyConnect next to the power plugs.
- Restarted HA several times.
- I reset both power plugs.
Perhaps I am missing something basic or doing something wrong?
(Sorry had to remove links and images as a new user can only add 2)
Annoying that I couldn’t connect the device with the Home Assistant Companion App because Google only saved my old network
