I'm trying to add my SLZB-06M as Thread device.
But I can't figure out how to configure the open Thread Border router addon, to connect to the SLZB via Network?

device: >-
port: tcp://192.168.100.157:6638
baudrate: "460800"
flow_control: false
autoflash_firmware: false
otbr_log_level: notice
firewall: false
nat64: false

Failed to save add-on configuration, Device 'port: tcp://192.168.100.157:6638' does not exist in OpenThread Border Router (core_openthread_border_router). Got {'device': 'port: tcp://192.168.100.157:6638', 'baudrate': '460800', 'flow_control': False, 'autoflash_firmware': False, 'otbr_log_level': 'notice', 'firewall': False, 'nat64': False}

I'm not sure we even support that yet.

oh 🤯 that would explain it. the docs from smlight are not very detailed at the thread part fpr home assistant, but at the SLZB site they are implying that they use the network stack. 😦 is there a road map for this?

There is a separate option network_device (see docs). You'll have to select a dummy serial port afaik.

That said, it is not ideal to tunnel a real time protocol through Ethernet/TCP/IP, just to then layer a TCP/IP protocol ontop of it (see also the note in the docs). I don't recommend this setup. A dedicated system which runs OTBR locally makes much more sense from a technical perspective.

What options do we have nowadays to run our own OTBR remotely ?
A pi zero perhaps with a Thread stick or one of the GL-iNet options ? Are those compatible with the OTBR api ?

Yeah Pi Zero should work, e.g. using a separate HAOS instance. The rpi3 images should suppport the Pi Zero 2. The GL-iNet can't be controlled from our OTBR integration, but you can setup the Thread credentials manually from what I remember. Then there are the ESP32 boarder router (it is more an SDK, you need to build the firmware yourself etc.). But those work with our OTBR integration.

I don't get it sorry. I can for sure use a ttyS3 as dummy, but I don't understand where to add the IP Adress from the SLZB in this case

did you select the "Show unused optional configuration options" at the bottem?

#

a little textbox showing network device will come up then

I just found it shame on me Now I have the homeassistant under the integration Thread. inside the integration open thread border router, it's empty and if I click to add a new one I need to enter a rest api url. Wondering how to add now thread devices

See it as an alternative to your wifi

you got the matter server add on running?

#

or i think now, you can just add a new matter device on mobile, and select to start/bulid the matter server
