Ikea Bilresa/SMLIGHT SLZB-07/HA Running in docker

[pallid storm]

For some reason I was under the impression that the Ikea Bilresa switches could be used with HA out of the box. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't get them to pair to my Google Home (nest mini, or iPhone 17 pro), I kept getting the error message Thread Border Router needed. So I bought the SLZB-07 and was able to get this firmware updated to OpenThread and the device visible to my HA and now it shows up on a restart as the SMLIGHT Zigbee integration. However when I try to add that it tells me Your devivce is running wrong firmawre and cannot be used with ZHA until the correct firmware is installed

When I try to install the Matter or OpenThread Border integration in HA, it prompts me for a a URL.

Anyone been through this? Can someone help?

FWIW, I have no other Zigbee/Thread items in my house.

the thread border router (and matter support) both require separate services that run in separate containers

on HAOS, these are installed as apps. If you're using a docker install, you have to do additional manual setup, and there's some tricky details regarding networking that you need to deal with

Do you happen to have instructions or a guide to point me to about it? Most search results act like I've already got it setup and just want to configure it in HA

There isn't any official HA docker container for the openthread border router. There's one provided by the openthread project: https://openthread.io/guides/border-router/build-docker and I think someone has repackaged the home assistant app but i'm not sure where to find that.

For the matter server, there's https://github.com/matter-js/python-matter-server/blob/main/docs/docker.md for the python server, which is the current regular version, or you can try https://github.com/matter-js/matterjs-server/blob/main/ALPHABETATESTS.md#docker-installation-from-docker-hub which is the new matter.js based server which is currently in beta
