Unable to commission ECO-DIM.07 Matter dimmer

Hi everybody,

New to the community and home assistant in general.

I just got HA running on a Pi4 with a ZBDongle-E as the thread border router interface. I’ve bought a bunch of new IKEA devices and was able to commission them relatively easily using my android phone and the QR codes.

Now I also bought an ECO-DIM.07 matter dimmer, luckily just the one to try it out. For some reason it does not want to connect to the network. Every time I try the app says the device can’t connect to the thread network even though I am just 2 meters from the Raspberry Pi.

Anybody used these dimmers before and had any luck commissioning them or had similar issues? I am close to just returning it and trying another brand.

Wondering if this is related to the two or three other Matter commissioning reports I have seen here in the last few hours.

It could be but I don’t think it is the same as the other issues. Specifically because I was able to commission a lot of other devices without issue using the phone.

This is the last step I get, which also pops up almost immediately when it tries to connect to the thread network.

Translation: “Cannot connect to thread network … Check if your device works with this network type and try again”

I will at least order another brand of dimmer to see if that goes better.

Well I got my other dimmer (ION Insdustries LED Matter dimmer) and was able to couple it.

I tried once more with the Ecodim and it turns out I needed to reset it first; hold reset for 3 seconds until the light turns red. So now that is also coupled.

Not sure which one I will go with, first will test both them them with the different amount of spots I have.
