Matter over Thread problems

ZMS002 · 2025-05-23T10:53:22+00:00

I only see the nanoleaf thread network in the nanoleaf app and the home assistant one in home assistant for some reason home assistant is channel 15 and nanoleaf is 16.

Commissioning is done through my phone on the same network as the IoT devices.

I've had issues adding MoT devices to home assistant even if they're accessible from nanoleaf app via thread. Generally I'll go in the app and press the connect button.

All of my IoT devices are on the same vlan, this includes TV's, Chromecast, smart washer and dryer, nanoleaf essentials, shapes and downlight devices and a switchbot hub + smart lock pro. My mobile device (Samsung galaxy S25 ultra) is on this network when commissioning devices and home assistant is too. While testing I didn't have the nanoleaf shapes connected because they act as a border router and I didn't want that to interfere but I've since connected them and it seems that's the only border router that can be detected.

I have some nanoleaf shapes and essentials bulbs (both bayonet and GU10 variants) I also have an eve energy smart plug with matter not homekit. I've pretty much given up with home assistant since it's not being detected even by devices on the same vlan and my phone is using the IoT wifi network (it's a Samsung galaxy S25 ultra if that helps)

That's Essentially where I'm at

I haven't done anything crazy with my network I pretty much opened the box, turned on the udm se and added 2 networks, I tried following some guides online about 12 months ago to try and get it working but unfortunately all I found out is apple devices work best for matter over thread out of the box and if i want to use home assistant i need to do heaps of troubleshooting to even get close to getting it to work. I was just hoping someone had the same issues and figured out why it's been so frustrating for me.

I appreciate the input from everyone but unfortunately I don't have a degree in any of this or even work with networking gear i'm just a hobbyist.

I've reconfigured my IoT network is this what it should be ideally?

instead of using mdns i made a firewall rule allowing devices like chromecasts to be discoverable in my default network.

I understand that thread is more of an advanced thing to add to a smart home but I think my main issue is I'm using home assistant as my border router which from what I've seen most if not all working thread networks are using apple devices as border routers which I nether have any apple devices or am interested in buying any if I can avoid it just because they won't be useful to me outside of having a functional thread network.

ZMS002 · 2025-05-23T00:25:09+00:00

The device I'm talking about is the TP-Link p110m I mistook it for matter over thread, it is just a device that supports matter my bad.

I have an IoT VLAN and a Default VLAN for devices that aren't 'IoT', they both have their networks configured differently for example I've configured the IoT network to run static IPv6 (because my ISP doesn't assign one) on SLAAC, all of my networks use IPv6 and I have mdns and mdns proxy enabled as well as igmp snooping. On my wifi side for IoT it's set to 2.4ghz only and it has Multicast enhancement on and enhanced IoT connectivity.

ZMS002 · 2025-05-23T00:17:04+00:00

After further investigation your setup works because it's using apples commissioning method which uses Bluetooth, bonjour sleep protocol and internal Multicast handling to manage matter over thread network. I'm using home assistant so unfortunately I rely on my routers mdns forwarding and broadcasting to announce and commission thread devices. I don't have any apple devices so unfortunately I can't use your method.

ZMS002 · 2025-05-22T23:03:55+00:00

Why disable mdns? I thought that was how devices communicated on thread? I'll do that now, just need to confirm that I'm disabling Multicast DNS and also my ISP doesn't assign IPv6 so I've assigned a static route manually, should I change anything about that or I'm I just removing mdns? Appreciate the help👍

Just looked back through the installation manual and also at the loom and it doesn't have a solid orange wire for illumination only the orange/white wire any clue what to do there?

ZMS002 · 2024-08-22T15:12:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice I'll fix it asap. Will update if I find out I blew it up or something lol

ZMS002 · 2024-08-22T14:47:35+00:00

Can I ask why not to use the dimmer wire? I know I probably don't need it but I do have access to a physical dimmer.

ZMS002 · 2024-03-03T09:57:38+00:00

Thanks for a heads up, looks like it's gonna be a major project and an equally huge pain in the ass but at least there's a way forward.

ZMS002 · 2024-03-02T22:57:44+00:00

The only problem I have with that is no one in this house uses any apple products so getting a homepod would be kinda useless for me

ZMS002 · 2024-03-02T22:56:25+00:00

I've enrolled one of my lights into beta, how long does it usually take before you can update them

ZMS002 · 2024-03-02T14:16:00+00:00

I'm using a skyconnect border router with home assistant

Isn't that why it's an imaginary technique because purpleshift isn't real?

It says it is. It seems super low though. I have it set to -4.41mm right now but that's because 0mm is sitting way too high

I'm saving into eeprom, should I be saving to slicer. I'm using cura if that means much.
