I have installed the official Docker image, and I'm trying to get Matter integration working. But I keep getting the same error - what am I doing wrong? I am following the official documentation

Is that where your matter server is running?

#

Seems like you're pointing it to home assistant

Do I need to install it seperately? I understood it as if it was integrated in to home assistant

The matter integration

Matter requires running a separate container with the matter sdk code. See https://github.com/matter-js/python-matter-server/blob/main/docs/docker.md for instructions.

Using HAOS is recommended - if you're running it yourself in docker, pay attention to the link with "requirements needed for Matter and Thread", you might need to adjust configuration on the host os.

I see.

#

So if I am running HAOS, I can just enable the integration without a seperate matter server?

#

on HAOS, when you set up the matter integration, it will automatically install the "matter server" add-on and configure the url for you.

Perfect. I'll setup a VM instead then
