tl;dr I can't add Threads over Matter anymore devices to home assistant, but work fine when added through Apple Home
Hi guys, I've been at this for about a week now and I'm stuck. I had added my Apple TV 4K as Threads Border Router to my Home Assistant installation in December to control my Eve MotionBlinds which worked just fine.
However, the blinds ended up being replaced due to fabric quality issues, this took. a few months, a week ago I finally got the new ones which I also wanted to add but the Threads Border Router wasn't selected anymore as preferred network. Took some doing to get it back, but now when I add the new MotionBlinds it keeps saying it couldn't add the accessory. Logs in HA (added as attachment) speak of "Network is unreachable" but if I add it in a similar way to Apple Home it sets up just fine and is controllable.
So far I have (most significantly) tried:
Deleted/rebooted/reinstalled the matter and threads integrations (however preferred network remined set up after reinstall)
Deleted all mentions of Thread in my Keychain Access on my macbook
Factory reset my Apple TV which just created an extra border router to choose from with a different name but seemingly identical credentials
Anyone got any thoughts? Would greatly appreciate any help
