Integrate the IKEA Dirigera Matter gateway into Gladys

[4get9]

Hello,
I bought a few new IKEA Matter devices, and I got an IKEA Dirigera gateway to integrate them into my home automation network which (almost) didn’t exist until now.

I decided to start directly with Gladys so as not to waste time starting on Home Assistant (HA) and then switching to Gladys afterwards.

I must admit I can’t accomplish much and nothing tells me what’s wrong or what I should do. I really feel it’s simple but only once you know the trick, and that as a beginner you’re groping around blindly.

Let me explain: nowhere does it tell me how I should proceed to get started.
Unless I’ve made a mistake.

Here’s what I did: on the IKEA side I installed their dedicated app and added the DIRIGERA, the sensors and switches, but on the Gladys side I find nothing except MATTER
So I started from there and tried the ADD DEVICE option which … doesn’t let me add anything.

In the Matter settings, I have my DIRIGERA (did I manage to add it? did it show up on its own? I couldn’t say)
however I don’t see any of my peripherals and I can’t add them

Unable to add this Matter device to Gladys, are you sure this device is on the same network as Gladys? Is Gladys running with network=host?

No device discovered using identifier {« shortDiscriminator »:6}! Please check that the relevant device is online.

and now I’ve been stuck for hours without making progress, I can’t find any info in Gladys or online.

any ideas ???

Hi @4get9

Thanks for testing Gladys!

To be completely transparent, the IKEA Matter range is brand new, not yet available everywhere, so you must be the first to test this in Gladys

However, if Matter lives up to its promise, it should work in the Gladys Matter integration!!

Normally, you should have a sharing code from the IKEA app that lets you « share » your Matter devices into Gladys.

You need to enter this code in the « Add a device » tab:

Then your devices will appear in the « Devices » tab in a blue section « Paired devices not added to Gladys ».

You can add them to Gladys with one click.

However, everything you describe sounds a bit like what @prohand shared here:

If that’s the case, you’re experiencing the teething problems of the early IKEA Matter range…

Unable to add this Matter device to Gladys, are you sure this device is on the same network as Gladys? Is Gladys running with network=host?

For that, is everything OK on your side?

Where is Gladys running? Tell us about your setup.

So I understand better the lack of conclusive results on Google

I had seen the post that mentioned network=host, but I looked into how Gladys was launched on my Pi (I used the dedicated Gladys image) and I couldn’t find it (crontab, /etc/init.d, /etc/rc.local, systemd, …)

Well, great news if it’s just something new — I trust it and I’m open to helping
