Hello,

I originally posted here - but upon further research I believe it should have been posted in this channel

I am attempting to install the matter intgeration. I am currently running homeassistant via docker. I have the matter server running in a seperate docker container on the same virtual machine.

I am able to successfully load the integration based on the confirmation message (there is no failure to connect message as shows up when the url is incorrect) - but after the success message the Matter integration does not show up in the list of active integrations, and when I attempt to add a matter device it tells me the matter integration is not configured yet.

Any idea what I should do? I have attached a video showing the issue

Hello @latent verge,
Did you restart Home Assistant? It will have to be restarted whenever you add an integration so it can be loaded into memory.

I restarted quite a few times no luck at all

What matter device are you connecting?

(coordinator)

I want to connect some Inovelli white switches - I’m using the SkyConnect thread router

#

And the skyconnect or ZBT-1 has the Matter only firmware installed?

#

Yes

#

I have a matter-server running via docker, and a separate open thread border router running with the skyconnect attached

#

Home assistant is running in a separate docker and is struggling to load the matter integration

#

To that point the Thread Integration is showing my Thread Border Router via SkyConnect available

One other thing - I tried a clean docker install of home assistant on the same machine (just pointed to docker instance to a clean config volume) and matter installed perfectly and is able to adopt devices. I think this means that there is something within my current homeassistant configuration files that is causing the matter intgegration to not install properly

you should not (have to) install the Matter Integration. Instead it will become active when you install the Matter Add-on.

I'm running in a docker implementation no the OS, so add ons aren't available are they?
