I’m trying to start using Thread devices in Home Assistant for the first time. I’ve gotten a Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24, flashed it with OpenThread firmware, added it as an OpenThread Border Router in Home Assistant, and added the Matter integration.
However, when I try to commission a Matter/Thread device using the Home Assistant companion app on my GrapheneOS phone, I scan the QR code, get to the screen that says “power on your device and make sure it’s in setup mode,” and “connect your phone to your main 2.4GHz network” and tap the “I’m ready” button, but then it gives me an error that I have “no Wi-Fi connection” even though it is definitely connected to the correct (2.4Ghz, not 5GHz) network.
I’ve also checked that the Home Assistant app has all the necessary permissions (network, nearby sensors, etc.)
Help?
Edit: I just found these bug report threads that look like they’re relevant, but I’m still reading through them:
Hey I had this issue, play store is needed to provision with qr codes but you can go to the matter app/add on and provision with bluetooth. Your HA will need BT like a pi or access to bt somehow. Your device needs to be in bluetooth range to HA to be picked up, not thread range to a border device and you need the 11 digit code.
If you dont have the code thereare sites that can extracr ot from the QR.
I am out nowbut if still an issue I can walk you through it tomorrow
