I have a conbee II that I bought to use Ikea zigbee, which is cheap and the best option in my close area, but to my surprise they quit zigbee 4 months after I started with it. Now I bought a ZBT-2 to use their matter over threads, which I by the way have never used before and own no devices off, and I cant get it set up. I can see the device in hardware, and i select it on the Open Thread Border Router addon, but i get one hundred different errors. But do I even need Open Thread Border Router? Shouldnt the ZBT-2 just pop up on my devices and integrations and i can click add and select threads? It doesnt show at all on my Devices and integrations. I'm going to bed now, if anyone respons THANKS! I'll have a look after work tomorrow

Update: For the first time it showed up on Devices and integration. I press add, use as thread, and then it failed:

If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Nabu Casa support for assistance sorting out the hardware.

Thread is very different from zigbee - thread is just the underlying wireless network that other applications can run on top of. The thread border router (OTBR) does basically the same job as a wifi router, except for thread instead of wifi
