I am trying to get the SwitchBot Hub 2 integrated with Matter. I'm pretty new to matter on HE - though I found using Tapo bulbs to be very easy. So I decided to give these Switchbot devices a go. HE keeps saying "Looks like you’re having trouble pairing your device. Please check that the device is in pairing mode and is on the same LAN as the hub."
So I tried using Home. Works great and I can control it from Home. Still won't pair with matter on HE. Can I pair it to both? Is there an order to things I'm missing? Really could use a tip or two. Thanks!

Okay. So I was able to use the Home app to generate a pairing code and get it paired. Now the issue I have is that the curtains are backwards. Open when closed and Closed when Open. That's next.
Have you set your SwitchBot hub and curtains up in the SwitchBot app? Based on having the code to get them into Apple Home I am assuming so.
If so the app will prompt you to calibrate the devices. You can manipulate the direction of open and close during that calibration to match whatever direction you want it to be. You may have to make it backwards in the SwitchBot app calibration (sorry been a long time I can't exactly remember) but you can manipulate it to match your direction in HE. I had to do this with the blind tilts.
Thanks. Yes, I have. Alexa control is correct. HomeKit control is correct. Only HE is backwards. I thought of reversing it in the setup. But then the other two would be wrong.
That is strange. If I recall mine was reversed in every system. When I get home I will look into mine and get back to you to see what I can find out.
