In HA do you have all the prerequisites setup? If so, you should be able to navigate to the matter integration and select add device

#

You might also need to reset the bulb before trying to pair again (I usually have to do this if the pairing window has closed)

You power cycle it 5x until it flashes red 3x

Just to be clear: Are we talking about a Nanoleaf Essentials (matter over thread) device ?

gentle star
#

it's a Nanoleaf bulb.

#

well, it's 6 Nanoleaf bulbs, but I'm trying to just pair the one right now.

#

they've got some matter QR codes

#

Is there like logs or something that I can use to diagnose where messages are failing/breaking?

#

There is a LOT of layers in here from bulb to UI.

  • Nano Leaf Bulb
  • Thread (the wireless protocol itself)
  • yellow's built in dual band zigbee/thread access point (activated via Settings->System->Hardware->Configure) ||which by the way is missing steps in some of the docs||
  • some kind of driver? (Addon, Silicon Labs Multiprotocol?)
  • Open Border Router Application (running behind integration?)
  • HA interface into border router (integration)
  • Thread (integration)
  • HA Matter implementation (integration)(Addon "Matter Server"?)
  • a device interface that lets me change the color/brightness/etc. (I think I got that order right?)
#

That's a LOT of layers and I'm not even sure I understand them well or even if I'm missing something. There doesn't seem to be any trouble shooting documentation. Assuming I have all that correct, any one of these interfaces could be failing for some unknown reason and I wouldn't even begin to know how to debug that.

#

yeah, there is a matter logo on the box and a matter qr code on a slip of paper that came with it.

#

You mentioned earlier NL could see your yellow as a BR correct?

gentle star
#

well now it sees two border routers...

#

I rebooted the Yellow and now NL app sees two home assistant border routers.

outer zealot
#

NL sees two home assistant BRs?

gentle star
#

I did not say that the bulbs could see the border router. I can't diagnose that.

outer zealot
#

Sorry when I say NL i mean the app

gentle star
#

yeah, the shorthand is can be hard to read for a novice.

outer zealot
#

You don't have a skyconnect correct?

gentle star
#

correct. I ordered one but I was expecting to cancel it since the Yellow got here sooner.

outer zealot
#

In HA

Settings -> integrations -> thread -> configure

How many BRs are listed

gentle star
#

In Settings->Devices & Services, I see Thread and Open Thread Border Router

#

"1 Entry" in each.

#

on the Thread intigration, I see 1 border router.

#

I think the NanoLeaf double is just a re-register on the yellow reboot.

outer zealot
#

Okay yeah that seems correct

#

So next is to collect logs during pairing from matter

#

That can be done from the matter addon page (logs) or the HA system logs page
