please download diagnostics for the Matter config entry and attach it to your report.
First time trying to download logs. Hopefully, this is what you were asking for. If not, please point to directions for how to get what you need.
As you can see in the documentation for the Matter integration it not yet has support for the cover platform so it is correct that your device will not show up.
Good news however is that we're actively working on exactly this platform so it will be available in the next Home Assistant release. I will use your diagnostics dump (thanks for that) to validate our implementation against real device data.
Thanks, looking forward to next release.
Today I spent some time testing with the Switchbot Hub 2 including Curtain drivers, paired to Matter. I fixed a small bug in our implementation, just in time for the HA 2023.5 release, which beta starts today.
More interesting though I did discover a bug in the Switchbot implementation itself and the way it has implemented the bridge support, the device information is missing for bridged devices. It's not a big deal as functionality wise everything works but it looks a bit unpolished compared to other bridges I've tested,
@marcelveldt Thanks, looking forward to testing it. Are you planning on filling a bug report with Switchbot?
Yeah, I've received an emailaddress where I'll send my findings. Its nothing that fancy but the naming is off, hence you get some empty/meaningless names in HA for the SwitchBot devices.
Closing this issue reports. The SwitchBot HUB works fine with HA, although they have bugs in their implementation where composed devices show up as different endpoints and no device names. We've emailed them but no response.
So maybe hopefully one day the naming and representation gets fixed but technically it works
Since this is about Switchbot matter support in Home Assistant and specifically about window coverings - I would like to make a point here:
The Switchbot Blind Tilt detected by Bluetooth has supported features: 240, and indeed it supports the service call of cover.set_tilt_position
and has an attribute of current_tilt_position
however the Blind Tilt as detected over matter, has supported features: 15, and does NOT support the cover.set_tilt_position
service, and it has the attribute of current_position
instead.
Is this a Home Assistant issue, or a Switchbot issue? Essentially from what I can tell Home Assistant is treating the Blind Tilt as if it was a curtain rather than blinds (and changing the display as entry doesn't make any different in Home Assistant)

EDIT:
So it's clear what the problem is here - because the matter version of the blind tilt only supports cover.set_position
100% is the fully open position and 0% is the fully closed down position. You cannot set the blinds in the up position with the matter integration.
@asjmcguire please create a NEW issue on the Home Assistant issue tracker, do not hijack a random existing one. Thanks!
I have the new switchbot hub that supports matter a some switchbot curtain drivers. After the latest update of home assistant I was finally able to pair the router with home assistant. I can see the temperature and humidity sensors, but the curtains drivers are not available. Google home has no problems seeing those, so I assume this has something to do with home assistant. Here is a screenshot in case it helps:
I would be happy to provide more information if that helps.
