I’m running a node on Umbrel on Ubuntu but I’ll be damned if I can link any of my wallets to the node wallet to confirm my own mainnet transactions (or send Sats to the Lightning node BTC or Lightning wallet using the companion apps in Umbrel). I keep getting an error that I can’t pay invoices generated by the wallet addresses on the Lightning node because the invoices are “created on a custom Lightning node that doesn’t include RouteHints in the invoice”. Tried so far with Muun, Wallet of Satoshi, and BlueWallet (that I heard is now defunct?) since my last attempts. Umbrel seems pretty clunky for Lightning implementation at the moment.

Do I have to have channels open and funded to simply send Sats to my node’s Lightning address from an external wallet? Thx
