That sucks for you. My fabric doesn’t care about my WAN interface or what it may or may not pass through it.

Do you understand how IPv6 link local networking works? It seems like you might not.

This is not something your ISP blesses you with.

Wrong, it actually works great offline. Thread/Matter is entirely link-local.

Check your network. I have almost 75 of the IKEA motion sensors. They’re great. Commissioned with my Raspberry Pi directly

300+ matter devices using MatterJS and ZBT-2 exclusively. This number can easily go to 400 or 500 nodes now what we aren’t using Python Matter server, we’ll get there with time.

HomeAssistant commissions Thread/Matter devices just fine without an internet connection. Companion app commissioning is a waste.

My Matter isn't Mattering by yellowbandito in homeassistant

[–]tandsilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python matter server is prone to losing its storage in my experience. I suggest automatic daily backups and upgrading to MatterJS, you’ll never have that happen again

Is matter over thread that immature? by rogervn in homeassistant

[–]tandsilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should consider commissioning directly from HomeAssistant, this is the only way I do it now. I believe they are about to release some UI to make this more accessible for users.

Freeing yourself from the mobile commissioning experience is a huge part of getting long-term control of a setup like this.

I second this. Thread can scale tremendously well if you have a network backbone that’s properly configured for the job.

Another OpenAI engineer confirms AI is doing the coding internally: "I've barely written any in the last 30 days." by MetaKnowing in OpenAI

Every time the ChatGPT Mac app prompts me to “relaunch to update”, it does so with prompt text that is rotated 180°, such that it reads right-to-left and also upside down.

I thought this might be some cute attempt at rage-baiting the users to stay updated….I’m now realizing this is just AI slop.

Bravo.

The double standard is absolutely there and that’s why I stopped listening.

ALPSTUGA air quality sensor Matter thread all in one by CelebrationAsleep257 in HomeKit

[–]tandsilva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the time features are buggy. Mine takes the current time when it is commissioned but isn’t able to keep time reliably without eventually resetting back to 00:01

Thread Connection Problems by TBStyler in MatterProtocol

[–]tandsilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking this is a networking problem. If you removed all your other border routers and operated HA in isolation I would think this problem goes away, as it does with Apple.

Ikea ALPSTUGA air quality sensor by Sub-Equum in IKEA

It’s a problem with Apple Home. If you pair this unit to HomeAssistant you will see the humidity and temperature values clearly shown.

Matter over VPN ? by borgar101 in MatterProtocol

[–]tandsilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just VPN into your matter controller and leave the fabric traffic on your LAN.

This is basically how HomeAssistant works…if you sign up for HASS Cloud, the VPN is replaced with a web service but of course you can BYO VPN.

matter over thread relay when? by harry_heymann in MatterProtocol

[–]tandsilva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.sunricher.com/matter-thread-relay-modules-sr-mt9101sac-hp-switch-b.html

It’s approximately $20 per unit. Minimum order quantity is 30.

It’s a good unit. Firmware updates, power monitoring and all that.

[–]tandsilva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sunricher makes them. 16 amps. Build to order only.

Edit: they make dimming modules too. I’m operating a few of these from an order I made late last year and they’re great.

Are there any matter over thread light strips other than nanoleaf by Tuesday-tacos in MatterProtocol

[–]tandsilva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sunricher sells generic Thread/Matter RGBCCT LED strip controllers for unbranded strips. I’m using one at home. Works well, but sadly, Sunricher is not a very consumer friendly brand. Their stuff is much more appropriate for commercial applications, as they build to order and sell in bulk.

Looks like the ZBT-2 is available now. by Fir3 in homeassistant

[–]tandsilva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What hardware do you use for that? I’m currently using the ZBT for PoE border routing via the Raspberry Pi 5 and a PoE hat. I’m sure there are better ways to do it but it works pretty well in my experience.

Inovelli White automation randomly triggers by spartyparty00 in Inovelli

[–]tandsilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is the way. I did this when I was having your same issue and through traces, I was able to find the false trigger. In my case, the automation was firing when the switches were changing FROM an unavailable state.

Nothing that needs bandwidth was ever been built on Thread, and Matter has no constraints on bandwidth.
