decryptioni am having a shit time with matter/thread on home assistant with ikea devices and an apple tv hub - can't get the devices to pair now after they fell off the network a few days ago! reset them, re-added the stuff from iOS keychain into HA, nothing - piece of fucken shit, Bluetooth works perfectly!
chendo@decryption I had a journey with pairing the IKEA matter stuff and got my thread network into a cooked state where nothing would pair, turns out there was multiple thread networks on my keychain for some reason so I made the decision to burn down my HomeKit homes, purged the keychain of those entries, and start fresh, and then it's been fine (battery-powered devices are tricky but I've only just upgraded firmware on these)
@chendo i did that this morning and it still won't pair properly :(
@decryption oh, burning down the home in Homekit? I deleted all of my homes, then went through Keychain Access and deleted anything that looked like it was Thread credential or to do with Homekit, in local but mostly cloud keychain entries
@chendo yep, fresh homekit setup, removed the old stuff from keychain - still won't pair to the home assistant matter server! i gave up, will return all this stuff back to ikea
@decryption try this, cause this is how I paired mine: I paired into Apple Home first, using Home app, then you go into the accessory and tap "Turn on Pairing mode", and it'll give you another code, which I pasted into Home Assistant. Then, for any device I don't want siri to control (like most plugs), I remove it from Apple Home. Main upside is you can have HASS and Home control the device independently of each other, so even if HASS is down, shit can still work
@chendo oh interesting - I was trying to pair it using the home assistant app
@decryption yeaaaah I'm not sure if the pairing process is as well-tested as Home.app's
