      @Emil thanks. I don't see anything advertising that protocol at all- including my currently functioning devices. Once a device is connected to the hub, should it still be broadcasting that service?

        @buckyswider We have planned to add network packing logging to the hub in order to be able to debug situations like this, but have not yet had time to do that. The Flic Hub runs a DNS-SD listener in the background, waiting for its paired Matter devices to come available, and then connects to these. So the first step you can do is to use any DNS-SD app (like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.druk.servicebrowser) and verify that your device is there. Matter devices advertise themselves under the _matter._tcp service.

          Hi @Emil, this has reared its ugly head again. This AM I have two matter devices that are showing "Offline" but can be controlled fine via other means. This time, it's two Leviton dimmable smart plugs. 5 other Matter devices (including another Leviton Smart Plug) are fine. I power cycled the hub with no difference. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this? Looking at this thread, the last time it happened it just self-cured. There has to be a reason this is happening...

          Hi @Emil , can you advise any troubleshooting I can do? I don't want to have to occasionally just be forced to re-configure these devices.....both of these have been offline for a week now and aren't coming back themselves like the last time...

              @buckyswider did you finish the pair device again or didn't you have to since you noticed it became online again?

                @buckyswider The only thing I can think of is if any other app (Alexa or Leviton app) has thrown out the Flic Matter connection (Fabric) to the Flic Hub. In that case you would need to add it again to the Flic hub.

                Figured I'd try to add it back to the Flic hub without deleting it. Put the device into setup mode and...it was no longer "offline" in the Flic app. Oh well.

                    @buckyswider what devices do you have? Only Leviton? Are they Thread or wifi?

                    Hi @Emil , so before I go delete and attempt to re-add the device showing Offline (a Leviton wall switch), is there anything I can do to provide troubleshooting data?

                      @Emil Yes, all of my matter devices are Leviton. All WiFi.
