Analysis

After updating to Homebridge 2.4 and enabling the built-in Matter support with a child bridge, the Homebridge bridge successfully pairs to my Aqara M3 hub in the Home app. However, none of the child accessories from my plugins (SwitchBot, Meross, Eufy Security, Dyson Pure Cool) appear under the bridge on the Aqara M3 side — only the bridge itself shows up, with no accessories nested underneath it.

Expected Behavior

All accessories exposed by the configured plugins should appear as child accessories under the Homebridge bridge once paired via Matter to the Aqara M3.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Update Homebridge to v2.4
  2. Configure plugins: SwitchBot, Meross, Eufy Security, Dyson Pure Cool
  3. Enable "Child Bridge" for the relevant plugins (or Homebridge itself)
  4. Enable Matter support in Homebridge settings
  5. Pair Homebridge to Aqara M3 via Matter
  6. Observe that the bridge is added to the Aqara M3, but no child accessories appear
