@vves Hm ... why you now sort out link local too? fe80 are all link locals ... why not announce them? In my eyes they are valid

I have come to the conclusion based on empirical testing and the spec that while fe80 is valid, it is NOT valid when it's the ONLY address on an interface. The larger issue that I have come across is that if an interface only provides on they IPV6 fe80 address the HomeApp and SmartThings will not resolve the endpoint. The solution is to validate a network interface provides at least ONE valid IPv6 address that is not a loopback address or IPv4 Address, but NOT remove the loopback and IPv4 Addresses. If there is not at least one Matter addressable IPv6 address, the library should not advertise that interface.
Below is the list from my test machine. Only the en0 interface is addressable from HomeApp or SmartThings.
This function is valid for as named, but the use of it needs to be in conjuntion with a network interface validator.

Sorry but then I'm back to: How does your network structure looks like? Completely fine that you tested it on your side, but I can not reproduce this at all behaving that way and "Link local" adresses are valid and used when devices are on the same switch. please check your firewall settings not that you have any kind of firewall active that blpocks connections on the link local adress?
