That’s unfortunately, I would’ve loved for it to work independently of HA. I was messing with setting up automations an I kinda got it work…
Did run into a weird issue binding the white series dimmer switch the canopy via Matter app ui… I was only either to bind either the cluster 6 or cluster 8 but not both at the same time 
.
I’ll give that blueprint a shot though… hopefully that works without issues.
Thanks.
