Let's move this into a Thread

If you now only have two devices I would take the pain now to quickly re-setup the network but you will need an iOS device to do so

Another option is just leave it with the single OTBR and remove (or ignore the ATV)

[shrewd quartz]

Does the iOS device need to be within range of the ATV and Skyconnect BRs, or does it just need to be connected via HA companion app and Apple Home app? If it's not possible remotely I think I'll just have to remove the ATV.

It depends if you have already imported its credentials once - Can you click the button "make preferred network" below the apple network ?

If so, do that and then click "move to preferred network" next to the OTBR

the OTBR should then mobve into the apple "MyHome" network

and after that you can cleanup the orphaned homeassistant network

[shrewd quartz]

Yep, that worked. Wowzers that was so much easier than I was expecting. Thanks for making it so easy.

[frosty hollow]

So, now you have network of 2 border routers

so increased range, stability etc

downside is that you now probably need to re-setup the 2 nodes if they didnt migrate themselves

[shrewd quartz]

Yep, and then it says other network called home-assistant with no otbrs installed

[frosty hollow]

yes you can click the trash can to remove that

[shrewd quartz]

Done. Both devices are offline so it does look like I'll need to recommission them. I can test the update process again once that's done and follow back up with you

@frosty hollow turning off the OBTR and updating the node was successful! It did seem to error out once the update was complete. Update in progress went from 100 back to 0 and the firmware still said 0.0.1. Eventually I turned the OBTR back on and restarted PMS and when it came back up the firmware was updated to 0.0.4.

[frosty hollow]

After the update completes it will restart and all that can take a while so if you had waiting log enough it would have probably come alive on its own. So the gist is that its actually the other way around. Updating does not work with OTBT (or Google) BRs but DOES work with Apple.

One of the other beta testers mentioned they got it to work with their Google BR which had not been joined to their Skyconnect BR network, using the PMS addon. Just an FYI in case that helps.
