I have an Aqara HUB M3 and 3 Door and Window Sensors P2. I’m trying to add the Sensors to the hub via matter with the Aqara Home app on my IPhone. And unfortunately that doesn’t work. Can’t pair any of the 3 sensors. The app detects the sensor. Then I scan the matter code. The app says it’s connecting to the sensor. (it detects it is a sensor). Then the app says it’s setting up and that fails after a while.
I am sure the matter network works since there are already other devices connected to the matter hub, 3 aqara motion sensors P2, and about 11 shelly matter plugs. The matter network is also connectd to my home assistant and I can access all matter devices in home assistant as well.
Any ideas what I can do to pair the door & windows sensors to the Aqara hub?

I already searched the internet and didn’t find much I didn’t try yet except forcing everything, hub , phone & sensor to 2,4GHz so I did that , didn’t help
Keen to see what info you get here, I’m in the same boat, I’ve tried everything, P2 Door sensors or even third party matter devices like Lifx Lightbulbs get to step 3 of the setup, and then will ALWAYS fail to proceed.
Could it be added to Apple Home app directly?
Unfortunately, I also couldn’t connect it to Aqara Home directly. If you connect it first to Homekit and take the code there, then it connects to Aqara Home, but without HK or another matter platform, it doesn’t work.

Got it, it looks like the same issue which we discussed in the following thread, Unable to add T2 Bulbs to M3 via Thread & Aqara Response - #2 by AqaraBot

I’ve recently updated my Phone to IOS 18.5 and still can’t add the Door sensors. I’ve tried adding them to homekit but that didn’t work either. So far the devices are completely useless. And, I still can add other devices to my matter network. It’s really related tot he Door sensors.
I am afraid that this issue might be expected to be fixed in iOS 18.6.
