New matter over thread devices disconnecting
I recently bought a few of the new Matter-over-Thread products, but they disconnect often. Here is my current setup:
- Mains-powered: 2 bulbs, 1 smart plug (acting as a router to strengthen the network)
- Battery-powered: 1 motion sensor, 2 remotes/buttons, 1 water leak sensor, 2 door sensors
- all connected to my Home Assistant thread network (only ikea on there)
I am experiencing a lot of random disconnections. Even the smart plug, which is supposed to be a routing node that strengthens the mesh, drops off the network randomly.
Before I go out and buy more Thread devices to try and "strengthen" the mesh, I wanted to check in with the community. Is this a known issue with the current state of the devices? Are certain devices just notorious for dropping off, or is it more likely an issue with my specific network topology/border router?
