Unable to Install Aqara P2 contact sensor — MATTER

First Matter device… not sure if that matters.

Hubitat was just updated to newest version. Currently using a C-8 Hub.

I tried to connect the sensors directly to the Hubitat, but I get an error that says the device isn’t in pairing mode, which it is, or isn’t connected to the same LAN network (just out of the box, so not sure how I’d adjust that).

Tried to connect it via the Aqara app, but I get error 302: Failed to Add

Any idea what I may be missing?

Thanks!

I'm no expert on Matter, but I think the P2 uses Thread over Bluetooth.

In fact on the aquara device page: Here

"Please note: The device does not currently support Aqara Home app. A Matter-compatible Thread Border Router is required".

So, you have a couple problems at the moment. 1. Hubitat is not a Border Router (as I understand it), and 2. Hubitat doesn't have a BLE radio, which is required to talk to this device. (See specs here)

At this time, Matter devices cannot be added directly to Hubitat. They first need to be connected to a Matter commissioner (see Add Device | Hubitat Documentation) and then paired with Hubitat. With the P2, you need to specifically connect it a Matter Commissioner that is also a thread boarder router (see How to use Matter on Hubitat Elevation | Hubitat Documentation).
