Long story short:
I'm mainly using ikea switches and lighting,
I had samsung S series TV with built in thread router and RPI5 running HAOS with Sonoff zigbee dongle.
Ikea is during changeover period from zigbee to matter. Some lights and switches i have are zigbee, some matter.
Everything was working flawlesly until i bought ZBT-2. Did that because i wanted to everything to be offline. Also extra redundancy is a +.
Then i adapted ZBT-2 to existing network. To check if it works i unpowered TV. Some devices continued to work some not, completely randomly.
Since then i am fighting for anything matter to work.

Now my problem:
I have new border router and i'm trying to link it to my android so i can add devices but i can't sync credentials.
i have only message saying that there is no credentials to import.

It looks like no credentials have been set as credentials to use for the app. If you click on the dotsvertical next to 'Home Assistant OpenThread Bord...' there should be an option to set it as credentials for the app. Then, try importing again.

(Why doesn't it set it automatically? No idea)

actually no, it was set up properly but i found solution.
Actually i found it before, but i got confused by words "companion app settings". By this i mean there are companion app settings in home assistant and companion app settings in companion app alone.
There is tab troubleshooting and there you sync thread credentials. And this worked.
I dunno why this option is burried so deep in menus.
