Hi all,
I’m having a damn problem with matter, actually I’m near to solving by trowing away anything… 
Long story short, I had an Aqara U200, after many retries I’ve been able to pair it via Matter and thread with HA (HA on docker, OTBR on docker, Matter on Docker). Then I bought some Matter-over-wifi christmas lights, and after many retries, again, I’ve been able to pair them with HA. But, after a reboot, all the two matter devices are offline now, and I’m not able to make them work again…
So, hope someone had similar problem and can help me…
I’m on a Debian 13 mini Pc, here are my docker compose config, my network interfaces and some other config, Last, my matter docker logs…
