How do I get Aqara U-100 working with Open Thread Border Router?

I have the ZBT-1/SkyConnect setup as a thread device.

The Aqara U100 is a Zigbee device that can only be added to HA through an Aqara Matter enabled hub. Unfortunately I’ve found no way to add/pair the device directly to my own Zigbee coordinator.

Thanks, but never asked how to add it through my zigbee stick.

There are plenty of comments here stating that it can be added via a thread border router.
Just looking for directions.

No hostility here, just commenting on what was commented here.

aqara does have smart locks that are matter over thread - the U300 and U200. But not the U100.

No problem. Just was commenting that the U100 is not a Thread device, but rather a Zigbee one.

@lucid kiln is correct in saying similar. The u300 and u200 are matter/thread. not the u100.

1. Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub is required for additional functionality such as automations, remote unlock, Matter support etc.
2. Apple Home hub is required for additional functionality such as HomeKit automations, remote unlock etc.
**3. Matter-compatible Aqara hub and Matter controller are required. **
