Hi! I have migrated from a raspberry pi 4 HAOS server to a virtual machine in Proxmox VE on my main server. I used to be add my Nanoleaf A19 bulbs using the raspberry pi, but since migrating, I have had issues locating devices using Matter.

Im not new to PVE, as I have 8 other PVE VMs with stuff passed through to the vm, and I can run lsusb in the terminal and see my zigbee stick (https://a.co/d/appjJCJ).

My problem is that Apple Homekit itself can detect my Matter bulbs, but HAOS cannot. Im unsure as what to do after going through the basic steps of ensuring everything is correctly setup in PVE. I will note that HAOS is also detecting a bluetooth module called “MediaTek”, which is my Zi Stick Im pretty sure.

Matter Server 8.0.0

#

assuming you have gone to HA Settings > System > Network, and made sure IPv6 is set to Automatic or static, depending on your network setup?

Is proxmox connecting through a different network switch or vlan than the pi that may be impeding ipv6?

Im using a unifi udmp on a residential fiber connection (Brightspeed) im not sure my isp carries a ipv6

#

Does it matter for lan tho?

#

Also I was mainly using ipv4 in my previous config on my old isp.

#

(But yes, HA is on automatic for ipv6)

#

Since making this post I have realized that Im trying to pair Matter over wifi bulbs with no wifi adapter passed through to proxmox. I found a cheap wifi antenna and while I fixed an error stating its got no wifi interface but Im still experiencing this and I had to put this down

Did you add your usb dongle to the HA hardware in proxmox?

Yeah I passed it through to HA from PVE

No need for IPv6 on wan/isp. Also passing through a Wi-Fi adapter to Proxmox is unnecessary As long as promox and your Wi-Fi router/AP are on the same lan (or vlan), communicating via ethernet.

Check that IGMP Snooping is disabled on the Unifi udmp for your Lan and/or VLAN with proxmox/HA and your Matter IoT devices, as it can block multicast traffic. To state the more obvious Promox/HA and your Matter devices should all be on the same Lan and/or vlan.

Also saw this on an OPNsense forum about setting up a VirtIO vnet to do ipv6 multicast (add bridge-mcsnoop 0):

When you use bridging with vtnet, there is a known Linux bug with IPv6 multicasting, that breaks IPv6 after a few minutes. It can be avoided by disabling multicast snooping in /etc/network/interfaces of the Proxmox host like:

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
bridge-ports eth0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094
bridge-mcsnoop 0
