Here is my docker-compose config :

  matter:
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server:stable
    container_name: matter
    restart: unless-stopped
    # Required for mDNS to work correctly
    network_mode: host
    security_opt:
      # Needed for Bluetooth via dbus
      - apparmor:unconfined
    volumes:
      # Create an .env file that sets the USERDIR environment variable.
      - /datastore/matter/data:/data/
      - /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro
#    command: --storage-path /data --paa-root-cert-dir /data/credentials --bluetooth-adapter 0

i try to add the matter stack to add my aqara u200 to HA, as it is already in HomeKit.

THanks for your help !

@boscorelly How do you try to add the device to HA? I use the Python Matter Server and use Apple Home as my primary fabric. Adding devices already managed by Apple Home to Python Matter Server works fine. Are you using the "Turn on pairing mode" from Apple Home and then use that code to add the device to HA?

[boscorelly]

hi,

yes, i used the pairing code.

Btw, the log i have pasted before, is the log i get when i start the container.

Do you also run others containers to have matter work ? I mean, do you run a local thread container ?

[boscorelly]

when i try to add a device, i have this error

@boscorelly As I use Apple TV as my networking / Matter hub, I only run the Python Matter Server in a container on a Raspberry Pi 4. It's just connected via Ethernet to the same WiFi router as the Apple TV.

[boscorelly]

can you show me your docker-compose section, and your configuration of the plugin ?

[olavt]

I'm just using this command:

docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped --name matter-server --security-opt apparmor=unconfined -v $(pwd)/data:/data -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro --network=host ghcr.io/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server:stable --storage-path /data --paa-root-cert-dir /data/credentials --bluetooth-adapter 0

hi,

i solved my problem with this in /etc/sysctl.conf :

net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen = 64
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 2

net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 2
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen = 64
