  • In the city OP is living (I can tell from the ticket portal) there exists a physical card for regular Deutschland Tickets and you are free to choose from various providers with differing integrations and apps if you don’t want to buy it from the local transport authority. The corporate portal OP needs to use (due to his employer subsidizing the ticket) only offers a digital version that can be saved to Google/Apple Wallet, though. There are plenty of third party wallet apps allowing you to scan and store QR codes but the Deutschland Ticket renews on a monthly basis, which I think sadly requires a more sophisticated wallet app like Google/Apple wallet as the QR code changes each time the ticket renews






  • I just found a workaround - not sure why it works, I found out via trial and error, but I’m currently reporting to Eve support.

    It seems the blinds cannot complete setup via Home Assistant and OTBR and get stuck in a state where they are successfully paired with HA but do not expose any controls (yet). In order to get the controls to show up, it seems to be necessary to complete some more setup steps via the Eve iOS app.

    What worked for me is the following:

    1. Pair the blinds with HA using Matter/OTBR
    2. Generate a matter code via the Matter integration so the blinds can be added to another hub
    3. Add the blinds via the newly generated code to an Apple Home hub, e.g. an Apple TV or Home Pod. The device does not need to support Thread as this is still handled by your Home Assistant. If you are exposing your devices to Apple Home via the Apple Home integration, you should see the same blinds twice, this is intended (one comes from the integration and the other one is connected directly to the Apple Home hub)
    4. The Eve app should now be able to discover the blinds and offer you to complete setup
    5. The blinds should now expose their respective controls in HA
    6. You may now remove the duplicate blinds from your Apple Home hub (not the one paired via HA)

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers
