I’ve been working on degoogling. i got a fairphone 6 with e/os. its been a great push in the right direction because many google services i previously relied on such as google home dont work.
no worries, ive always wanted to get better with Home Assistant. but devices dont generally advertise if theyre compatable with home assistant. so i got the matter controller for home assistant, great. just arrived yesterday, and tried to add a matter bulb to test it out.
home assistant says i need to be on official android with the home assistant companion app downloaded from the play store, not the fdroid version

There is a way for matter onboarding through HA with a bt (le) dongle on the server, and a matter border router (got 3 SMLight POE ones here). Somewhat pressed in time now but I think you can find the link.
