  • There may be some confusion here, so let me clarify some stuff to make sure I’m not confusing you:

    • Your ZBT module is a bridge, so that’s not an issue
    • When people mention “HomeKit” in reference to HA, they mean the HomeKit module, and not the Apple hardware

    So you’ve got the device paired to your HA instance via ZBT+Thread. There is also a way to pair devices with the HomeKit integration, and not directly through the Thread border router. Reset your blinds then try pairing them through the HomeKit integration in HA, then see if the controls pop up as you expect them.








  • I really think you have conflicting resolvers running on startup, which would explain this. Double check your systemd units that are enabled on boot. If you don’t see anything like networkmanager, reboot the machine, get the status of systemd-resolv to make sure it’s actually running after a fresh boot, check the logs and see if you see anything interesting there, then restart it and check the logs again once DNS works. Something is different between those two actions.
