Unreliable Dimmer switch H2 EU on Matter

I have 2 dimmer switches H2 EU connected via Matter and since the beginning they give me a very hard time to stay connected.
Very often they disconnect from Apple Home and show as “No response”. Automations (via Apple Home App) using the Presence sensor FP2 fail because of this, making the sensor use and the whole experience frustrating.
The dimmers are next to each other, connected quite near my matter hubs.
I tried uninstalling and re-adding them a few times, but the problem persists.
Any tip for me?

Thanks!

@brachetta I’m sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you’re experiencing with your Aqara Dimmer Switch H2 EU. From the reference information, here are a few tips that might help improve the situation:

  1. Network Compatibility: Ensure that your Matter-compatible app and Thread border router are properly installed and configured. Both your dimmer switches and the FP2 sensor should be on the same local network to ensure stable communication.

  2. Device Reset: If the devices are frequently disconnecting, try resetting the dimmer switches and adding them again. This can sometimes resolve persistent connection issues.

  3. Firmware Updates: Make sure all devices, including your Matter hubs and the dimmer switches, are running the latest firmware. Updates often include improvements and bug fixes that enhance connectivity and performance.

  4. Proximity to Hubs: Although you mentioned the devices are close to the hubs, consider any potential interference sources. Metal objects or electronic devices nearby can sometimes affect signal strength.

  5. Automation Settings: Double-check the automation settings in both the Aqara Home App and Apple Home App. Ensure that all conditions and actions are correctly configured to avoid any miscommunication between devices.

@brachetta I’m sorry to hear about the connectivity issues with your Aqara Dimmer Switch H2 EU via Matter—unreliable connections can definitely take the joy out of your smart home setup.

From the available information, the Dimmer Switch H2 EU requires a Matter-compatible app and a Thread border router for setup, and factory resetting (via ten consecutive presses) is a step for protocol switching, but specific troubleshooting for persistent disconnections isn’t detailed in the current references. Since you’ve already tried re-adding the devices, it might help to double-check if your Thread border router is functioning stably and if there are any nearby wireless interference sources (like other electronics) that could affect the connection.
