Hello everyone,

i'm using my HA Yellow with Zigbee(internal Radio) for almost a year now. since i dont want to use the Multi-protocol Firmware i have a simple Question.

Is it possible to use the ZBT-1 (aka Sky Connect) Dongle for Matter/thread besides the internal Radio which is used for Zigbee?

My Hope is that with two Radios: The internal Radio for Zigbee and The ZBT-1 for Matter i would be set for everything thats comes along in the next years.

greetings from Germany

Yes, that is possible. The OpenThread Border Router add-on has to be set to use the ZBT-1 (it flashes the required firmware automatically).
The Yellow's internal radio would remain functional via ZHA.

You can also enable it by going to the Hardware menu, finding the ZBT-1, clicking Configure, and then selecting the firmware you want to run. It'll set up the rest.

It should show up when you plug it in

What version of Core are you running?
