Configuration Matter/Thread
1

Hello,

I try to connect a Tapo P110M device with matter to HA, but is fails.
First directly with QR-code.
Choose fo other matter controller
Device is found in the companion app
Automatically added to same wifi network as phone and got ip
Then fails,

Also trying the “multi admin”
First configured with the Tapo app
Add to Wifi and P110M is correctly configured
Then copied the matter code
Opende the HA app
new matter device
Choose yes its already in use by another controller
Filles in the matter code
and fails again

Any idea what is going wrong or how-to troubleshoot?

Myself I was able to connect a 110M through WiFi. Direct coupling from the Matter UI with the matter code didn’t work

Using TAPO Android app, I tried to connect TP-Link Tapo P110M to my personal WiFi network. I can’t input the WiFi key. Can’t press the submit button, like the key isn’t considered accaptable by TAPO software.
This behavior looks strange. Any hint regarding any limit with this feature?

It looks there’s a limit of 20 characters long for the WiFi local network key! that sounds weak from my perspective, and degrading the whole security level to get an additional asset on the network.

Try adding it directly via Matter so the WiFi credentials are provisioned. That way you may get around the password limit of the Tapo app.

Right. Implementing a Matter IT infrastructure, connected to current WiFi network. Is there a best practice regarding a Matter server, within docker except this one: Package python-matter-server · GitHub ?

In my case the problem was solved by putting Home Assistant in the same VLAN as mt other IoT matter devices.
