Hello All!
I’ll start this off with saying that my knowledge with Home Assistant is enough probably be dangerous, but I try to play it as safe as possible.
When building my system last year, I went all in on Matter, seeing as how more and more companies are building for that protocol.
I’m using a ZBT-1 flashed with the Matter Thread Border Router firmware provided by Home Assistant, connected via USB.
All of my commissioning happens through a Pixel phone running Android.
Thing have been working super smooth and I haven’t had an issues until I recently replaced my router.
Before I had a simple Netgear wireless router and have swapped it with a Unifi Dream 7 Router.
To try and make the swap as painless as possible, I basically replicated the network SSID, static IPs (v4 only), etc.
Also, as for how this network is configured, it’s super simple and barebones: no VLANs, just a 2.4GHz and 5GHz network with everything IOT living on the 2.4GHz and Home Assistant wired into one of the ports directly on the back of the router.
Everything came back online just fine, however I’m now finding anytime I want to try to add a new device to Matter, the process fails.
Unfortunately, the way it fails is unhelpful in the sense that there is no elaboration on the error other than “Something Went Wrong” during the connection process.
I’m wondering if anyone here could at least guide me in the right direction as a first step in things to try to get this working again. Or at least some place I can check to get a little more information on WHAT went wrong rather than just “something”.
Happy to provide additional information as needed as well, again a bit over my depth here and not sure what would or wouldn’t be helpful information.
