Error adding Philips TV to HA with Matter over WiFi

[compact nova]

I (and a few others, according to this github thread) have a problem adding a new Philips TV with Matter to Home Assistant. The TV confirms that it has been added to a controller, but the HA app says the connection failed.

This is the logg from the Matter add-on:

My system:
HAOS 2025.2.5 (the error has been the same on every version since I first tried in desember)
Matter add-on: 7.0.0.
TV: Philips 65" The One 65PUS8909

Steps I have taken so far:

• followed the instructions on the matter integration page
• ensured that my phone and the TV are on the same nettwork and WiFi frequency
• ensured that IPv6 is set to automatic in HAOS

I can be wrong but looks like these Philips TV's can act as Matter controller, not as Matter device themselves. Did you try adding to Google or Apple Home ?

It looks like it could become a controlled Matter device?

@compact nova Looking forward to your feedback

@compact nova the device is already connected to the network I guess ?
Within the HA flow to add a matter device, can you click the option that the device is already on another controller, choose "other" and then manually type in the code that comes with the QR code.

This seems to be a small oversight on our end, we're steering into a regular PASE-based commissioning (using bluetooth) but this should be an "on network" commissioning.

Can you try it and let me know ?

That kind of worked 🎉 the TV is now added as a device. the menu item for connecting to matter on the TV is disabled whenever wifi is disconnected, so that kind of forces the an on network commissioning.

The sensors are all over the place though. I don't know if this is a problem on the Philips side or in HA. I get two power switches, one is the actual on off, and works. The other seems to trigger the volume, but since it is a switch, it doesn't do anything. Then I get a humidity sensor for som reason. And a few konfig options for on and off transitions. Not sure what they do.

And thank you for your help, btw 😀

Well, we do not yet have support for Matter mediaplayer devices so that might explain part of it. Can you go into the device details within settings and then download the diagnostics file ? If you shar ethat here with me, I can inspect the data
