Hi all
I’ve set up my home-assistant in a podman setup with docker images for home-assistant, openthread/border-router and matter-js-server.
I run them all with a bridge set up with eth0 and wlan0 from the Raspi 4. The containers connect to the bridge-network with there own ip addresses. The bridge and the containers are multicast enabled.
This so far works well.
To the wifi I also have connected a Xiaomi Air Purifyer and a iRobot vaccum cleaner.
The problem starts when I try to pair Matter devices. I have one light bulb using Thread and another one using Wifi.
Having the mobile (Poco F5Pro) with the companion app connected to the bridged network (its just a hotspot) I can start the adding of new devices for matter.
It then goes for the Wifi-Bulb:
- Searching for device
- Connecting to device
- Generating Matter credentials
- Uncertified device → I click ‘Set up anyway’
- Connecting to device
- Checking network connectivity to upc…
- Cant connect device to upc …
Using the Thread-Bulb it is nearly the same
- Bulb starts green
- Searching for device
- Connecting to device
- Generating Matter credentials
- Uncertified device → I click ‘Set up anyway’
- Connecting to device
- Checking connectivity to Thread network OpenThread..
- Bulb instantly changes to blue (meaning connecting to Thread network) / App still says Checking connectivity …
- Can’t reach device
Make sure that your phone is connected to WiFi
In both cases to me it seems to be a problem with Wi-Fi. The phone is connected to the exact Wi-Fi network.
Can anyone help with setting up the Wi-Fi correctly so it can be used with Matter and for pairing?
- Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi 4 with WPA/WPA2-Personal
