#Is there a way to force change Thread network on Matter Over Thread device?

I'm fine with even running some Python scripts inside HA if that's needed (I'm running HA Green, and I have HA OTBR to connect to the Thread network if that's needed, or I can call REST API as, thankfully, Aqara OTBR exposes it on port 8081 (unsure tho, you can do much with REST API as most of the stuff seems to be happening in C/Binary protocol and not via REST))

The devices I want to move in bulk are Nanoleaf Essentials Bulbs. Going through their mess of an app to do that one by one (I have 42ish bulbs) is going to kill me 😄

Can you clarify what you want to move "from" and "to", regarding both Thread and Matter Fabric? You've got a few things going on in other HA Discord threads, so seems you have a grasp of things, but not sure. I think what you may be asking is given a Matter Fabric that has devices on a Thread network, can a Thread network change its dataset/credentials on the fly and the answer is yes.

Yeah I have bunch of bulbs and some of them are on one Thread network (while being on Matter as well) and I want them to, somehow, move to another Thread network.

#

I want to avoid doing that through the Nanoleaf app as it's super time-consuming, unreliable, and a total mess overall.

my understanding is that, in general, changing which thread network a matter device is on is only really supported by resetting the device and setting it up from scratch.

iirc the nanoleaf app may let you change which thread network a device is on without resetting it, which seems overall like less work.
