Setup: HA running in docker container in a vm on proxmox
In Switchbot app:
Hub shows up but no devices there.
Lock and keypad show up and they work. Only if bluetooth is enabled and in range. If i turn off my wifi but leave bluetooth on it still works through the app. If i turn off bluetooth and leave wifi up it doesn t.
Both lock and keypad have a warning "This device has been disconnected with your Hub". I followed their troubleshooting and if i go Profile->Manage Hubs i can see my hub detecting the 2 devices with full signal tho.

#

Apart from that, on the servevr i have a docker container with the matter-server container running. I added the matter integration and connected to the server. i tried putting the code that was on the hub 4 numbers - 3 numbers - 4 numbers. i also scanned some other qr code which gave me a different string of numbers without dashes. It couldn t conect to any of them.

those are the errors i get in the matter container
#

At this point i m not sure if the problem is switchbot or homeassistant or i m missing some other device to act as a bridge(tho i tought the hub is supposed to do that)

Managed to get the devices to connect to the hub. i tried the setup from the phone scanning the matter code but it didn t work
