I used the fdroid app through droidify and when I use the companion app to add a matter device it tells me to install the app.

I can only note that it requires the play store version.

Is this known, a bug or a necessary evil?

    Its likely because it uses some Google service to complete the transaction with the device. I believe this is a known limitation of the f-droid version, not sure if it’s something the are able to work around or not.

    Edit: yes under the android instructions it states the Google Matter UI takes over the process. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/matter/
