#Can't get Matter to work.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

I have HASSOS running on a VM.
I am using the Matter Add On.
I have IPV6 enabled and functioning.
I have mDNS enabled and functioning.
I have VLANs but all the devices I care about including HA and phone are on the same VLAN.

On Android devices I get a toast message saying "Matter is unavailable at this time" on iOS I scan the QR code and it just times out.

If I go the the Matter web Server and click the "commission node" button then 2 of the options are greyed out, see attached image.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ^^

regarding commissioning from the matter server - commissioning in that way requires that you have a bluetooth adapter on the HA machine which is not in use by HA's bluetooth integration. (bluetooth proxies aren't supported, so this means the device being commissioned needs to be physically close to the HA machine)

#

not sure what's up with the android device - do you have bluetooth or location permissions disabled? to find the matter device to commission it, it needs to be able to find nearby devices via bluetooth. Also note that the matter stack is in google play services, so a phone with an alternate version of android that has reduced or sandboxed google play services won't work.

#

the apple failure... if i had to guess, the issue is probably that it couldn't find the matter device over bluetooth? depending on the matter device being commissioned, it's probably only discoverable via bluetooth shortly after being powered on, right after having been reset, or otherwise when pairing is manually started e.g. via a button.

Would there be a bluetooth version requirement for the BT adaptor?
