#OTBR/Matter broken again

Recent round of updates have rendered my entire Matter/Thread devices list inoperable. I thought I had things set not to auto update, and the backups on updates don't seem to be on by default, so I'm kinda up a creak right now.

Would love some assistance in how to rectify the situation.

I'm using the Skyconnect/ZBT-1 dongle in Matter/Thread only mode.

#

The only Matter device that is working is the single wifi based wall wart switch from Legrand my Wife bought. All the thread based devices are unreachable.

#

I'm on an rPi 4

I was able to roll back to OTBR 2.12.1 and Matter Server 6.6.1 and things are slowly coming back online.

That wifi matter wall wart has disappeared, however. I can re-add that.

I hear ya - just hard to shell out cash for things like the shades and have it not be on the latest stuff for me.

#

I just didn't expect things to break so often.

#

Everything has reconciled and is back

#

Thanks the gods it was easy enough to roll back to the older versions. Now I wonder which one was the culprit.

#

My gut tells me its the otbr add on

#

considering the wifi matter device was fine

#

Going to update the Matter Server to 7.0.0 and see if that works

bumping to Matter Server 7.0.0 seems to be working - nodes coming back online, slowly

#

Good to hear.

That beard man. I wish mine would look that "full".

craggy onyx
#

It's not as full as it looks there. That was taken right after a visit to my barber, and the man does absolute wonders with it. But thanks!

If im multiple versions behind, is there a way to selective pick where to jump to, instead of going to the latest?

craggy onyx
#

Yes. Kinda. You can select a specific version at install. But I don't think you can for upgrade.

#

No, and there must be something else going on in your setup because i jump to latest version immediately and i don't see these problems on my zbt-1 based setup

Matter version 7 is a bust. Rolling back

#

I don't know what could be "going on". I'm super vanilla when it comes to this HA setup. No wild custom stuff. Just an of SkyConnect for thread only.

#

Updating to latest + the HA os and server updates has made it so i wake up late and in the dark, so rolling back I go.

hasty parcel
#

Yup - rolled back and rebooted server and its all back to normal.

#

What is working for me currently:

Matter Server @ 6.6.1
OpenThread Border Router @ 2.12.1
HA Core @ 2025.3.3
HA Supervisor @ 2025.03.3
HA OS @ 15.0

Hardware = rpi4-64 + SkyConnect
