- #Eve Energy kept reporting, but also couldn't be pinged from the border router...
- Eve Thermo has become unavailable
- My wife has accidentally kicked #Tapo bulb into reset because of the issues

Only #Ikea #Kajplats has stayed connected...

I need to... Double down and get more #Matter devices... And I guess I need Thread USB dongle as well... 😂

There’s something about those new #Ikea #Matter devices that’s not entirely ok…

People complain it’s been difficult to pair them with anything and I’ve seen an explanation you need to enable IPv6 on your network. Don’t see why, but ok…

Plot twist - I have it enabled, and yet… I’ve had issues adding #Kajplats E27 CWS glove 1055lm to both #HomeKit and #HomeAssistant.

It has eventually worked, after a few attempts and #AppleTV and #HA restarts, but still - not the experience I’ve been expecting.

Until you find out through some random Reddit post that YES, the fucking #KAJPLATS smart bulbs from #IKEA do support #Zigbee 😡 You just need to flick the lamp off/on 12 times.

It supports Zigbee, and it is NOWHERE on the fucking box.

#IKEA so: „Hol dir jetzt noch unsere #TRÅDFRI Produkte – denn TRÅDFRI wird Schritt für Schritt durch #KAJPLATS ersetzt. Sichere dir noch deine Favoriten.“

Und die machen dann #Matter, krass. Das ist bisher komplett an mir vorbeigegangen 🙈 #Smarthome

@normis esmu speciāli pārslēdzies uz 2.4 un tajā pašā tīklā.
Pārējās ir #KAJPLATS , #TIMMERFLOTTE , #MYGGSPRAY un podziņas

Finally managed to get a barely working #Matter setup by using a Ukranian #Smlight MR1U, which has radios for both #Zigbee and #Thread. Very cool device which can be freely flashed with plenty of firmwares and powered by either PoE or USB.

Sadly my #HomeAssistant installation on a #Pi400 refused to detect the device via USB. Moved the sd card to a #Pi4 and it got detected right away. Huh.

After messing with the outdated Python Matter Server I got a single #Kajplats bulb working, all other Matter devices refuse to connect. 😂 Well, at least it's a star of something.

Or I just stop wasting my time now and move on to Zigbee for now. 😮‍💨

Wer hat heute zwei #Bilresa Schalter und eine #Kajplats Birne von Ikea gekauft und irgendwas beim Hinzufügen des #Dirigera Hubs falsch gemacht und hat zwei Daumen? Da werde ich morgen versuchen den #Samsung SmartTV als #Matter Hub zu aktivieren. 😬 Mal gucken, ob das was wird.
