Failing to add AQARA P2 door sensor via Thread to V3 Hub (error 39-504)

Devices & Integrations

Hi, I tried a dozen of times to add an Aqara P2 Thread Door Sensor.
The device gets detected correctly, but then after a little wait while the appa says it’s adding the device, I get an error with code 39-504.

Any advice? I know from Brian ( @AutomateYourLife ) video that the device works with this kind of connection…

I haven’t been able to add this same device to SmartThings either. I’ve added it to Apple Home and Home Assistant fine, but sharing to SmartThings never works.

thanks, yes I was expecting it to work as it’s Matter over thread, there must be some bug in the Thread part of the V3 hub.
Switchbot devices work fine over Matter instead…

I have to say tham I’m experiencing issues adding a Z-wave devices as well, the secure pairing fails, so I wonder if there’s a broader issue…

Very well could be. I have an Eve Motion added to SmartThings via Matter for several months, so at one point adding a Matter over Thread device did work.
