MatterWorks LocalFixed by enabling UniFi mDNS repeater after weeks of failed pairing
Saved copy
Finally got IKEA Matter devices connected after weeks, mDNS in Unifi was the fix, but I still don't understand why. So after weeks of on and off troubleshooting I finally got my IKEA BILRESA switches and VARMBLIXT lamps pairing. Probably around 5 hours of active testing spread over multiple evenings. Worth saying upfront: I know a lot of people have been struggling to add the new IKEA Matter devices even in really simple setups; no VLANs, no Home Assistant, just an iPhone and the IKEA app. So I'm not claiming my fix will help anyone else, and I'm honestly not even 100% sure it was the actual …

MatterPartly works LocalWorks over Thread; Zigbee mode is unsupported and could be removed
Saved copy
The new IKEA devices work with Thread (and Matter-over-Thread), and some (like the BILRESA) can be configured to use Zigbee instead (which, according to this, is unsupported and could be removed at any time). You should pick one protocol. Since not all devices support Zigbee, and all of them support Thread, I would suggest using Thread. The BILRESA that uses Zigbee can be configured to use Thread again (according to aforementioned page, through resetting it by holding the pair button for about 10 seconds; an amber pulsating LED means it's in Thread pairing mode).

MatterRequested LocalRotary encoder support attempted but PR closed
Saved copy
Proposed change Add proper rotary/linear encoder support for Matter Switch devices like the IKEA BILRESA scroll wheel. The Matter spec lacks a native encoder cluster, so devices like BILRESA use `MultiPressComplete.totalNumberOfPressesCounted` to report absolute encoder positions (0-17), not button press counts. This PR adds `MatterEncoderEventEntity` which: - Detects encoder devices via `KNOWN_ENCODERS` table (vendor/product ID) - Tracks position state and calculates direction/magnitude - Fires `rotate_cw`/`rotate_ccw` events with magnitude attribute - Handles wrap-around correctly for …
