M11 and Home Assistant

[JohnD]

There seem to be some issues with the IKEA Bilresa. There are already quite a few forum posts about it:

IKEA BILRESA - Dual Button - Will Not Pair with Aqara

nope, still only possible with iphone

Ikea Bilresa Scroll Wheel, Bilresa Dual Button and M100 HUB won't pair with android app! Extra in topic: how to use Bilresa Scroll to trigger automations

So, I’m not sure if you are aware, but neither of them pairs with the Android app; they always get stuck on the 3rd or 4th stage. However, they pair without any problems with the Apple app.

Have you already completed the following steps?

• Installed the Home Assistant and Aqara Home apps on your smartphone
• Installed the Matter Server app (formerly known as the Add-on) in Home Assistant
• Is the Aqara M100 Hub set up in the Aqara Home app using the same smartphone and the same Google account?
• The Home Assistant and Aqara Home apps have all necessary permissions (Bluetooth, Location, and “Devices nearby”) enabled on your phone?
• Are you starting the pairing process inside the Aqara Home app or Home Assistant app on you Smartphone?
• In Home Assistant, go to Settings → Thread. Does the network “AqaraHome-b441” appear there? If it’s not listed, HA doesn’t have the “keys” to the network yet.
