I'm new to thread + matter, but been doing HA for a few years. I keep trying to find the specific issues I've seen but struggling.
- My HA is running on a Pi5 (all the latest updates, etc).
- I'm trying to connect a Ikea Bilresa (button) over Matter.
- I have the Matter Server app running (shows Python Matter Server, some ids and a "Nodes" box below that's empty)
- I have the OpenThread Border Router app running - nothing unusal in the logs:
Connection to 172.30.32.1 8081 port [tcp/tproxy] succeeded!

My OpenThread Border Router config:
device: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_ZBT-2_xxxxx-if00
baudrate: "460800"
flow_control: false
otbr_log_level: notice
firewall: true
nat64: false
beta: true
When connecting the matter device it fails (on the android phone) with: "Your device requires a Thread border router".
Both my Android device (google pixel) and HA are on the same network and can see each other locally.
I gather this is all supposed to just work! One extra potential spanner, is that I have tailscale in place. I have tried stopping the addon on HA and disabling the VPN on my mobile device, but I do also know that my router has controld in place for DNS proxying (but that's external traffic so hoping it doesn't impact?).
I've also attached what I see from my phone looking for thread network (which I don't fully understand the options in the HA menu, or why the network is marked as unavailable).
Would really appreciate any help.
