Fucking hell, trying to set up a #Matter device with #HomeAssistant is a nightmare.

> The OpenThread Border Router add-on can only be installed with Home Assistant OS. If you would like to use the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 as a Thread border router, please manually set up OpenThread Border Router to communicate with it.

🤨 I just want to connect my fucking lamp...

Erfolg des Tages, nach Kauf eines #IKEA #DIRIGERA Hub “für smarte Produkte”, habe ich es geschafft den IKEA #ALPSTUGA #CO2 Sensor in mein #homeassistant einzubinden.

Versuche mit #SONOFF Dongle-LMG21 oder Dresden Elektronik #ConBee3 und #OpenThread Border Router haben nicht funktioniert.

Yeeeeessssss

I finally got Matter over Thread working in Home Assistant :neocat_happy_blep: :neocat_aww:

Took me several days from learning what they are, to how to do this in my setup (not using the OS version), prepping my host & network, and learning which components are available & required.

Oh, and you have to click on some hidden sync credentials button behind a "troubleshooting" menu in the companion app, the normal sync button doesn't work.

My hours of work paid off and it finally works just the way I want it to :cute:

I'm so happy :neocat_laptop: :neocat_angel: :neocat_floof_cute:

#homeassistant #openthread #matter

@zomtecos Und es läuft seit 2 Stunden stabil.

Ach menno!

Bleibt die Frage, ob der #Openthread Border Router in #Homeassistant das Problem ist oder der #SMLight Adapter.

Das Netzwerk kann ich als Ursache ausschließen, denn das Problem ist unverändert, wenn ich den Adapter direkt via USB verbinde.

Hmm.
Zwei Tage lang lief es stabil.
Dann habe ich gestern Abend zwei weitere #Alpstuga hinzugefügt und es zerfällt wieder. ☹️

Ist #OpenThread so sensibel oder ist die Implementierung in #Homeassistant das Problem?
Oder ist das Single von #SMlight einfach noch nicht stabil genug?

Das Netzwerk sollte ja nun gerade nachts nicht das Problem sein. Oder?

M5Stack NanoH2 – An ultra-compact ESP32-H2 IoT development kit with Zigbee, Thread, and Matter connectivity

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/12/26/m5stack-nanoh2-an-ultra-compact-esp32-h2-iot-development-kit-with-zigbee-thread-and-matter-connectivity/

Eben habe ich #SMlight SLZB-MR4U via #ZHA und #OpenThread Border Router erfolgreich in Betrieb genommen.

Mit einem Alpstuga ist auch das erste Gerät erfolgreich verbunden.

Ich habe zha gewählt, weil das Argument für #zigbee2mqtt mit einem externen #Zigbee coordinator, der unterbrechungsfrei weiterarbeitet, auch wenn der #Homeassistant host neustartet, nicht mehr relevant ist und ich damit eine Komponente weniger brauche bzw. weniger #mqtt traffic habe.

Open Thread: Thanksgiving

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://aftermath.site/open-thread-thanksgiving/

The last few days I spent a fair chunk of my day arguing with the nRF Connect SDK and its Partition Manager…

The goal: trying to get NSIB and mcuboot to behave with the secondary image on external (QSPI) flash.

Took the better part of yesterday and today just getting a `pm_static.yml` together… only for it to compile an image, and `west flash` to barf because the image file embedded both on-chip flash data *and* a copy of the bootloader for the QSPI flash.

In the end, I came to the following conclusions:

1. Partition manager is over-engineered and fails at its prime objective of making partition layout easier (they tell you to skip dynamic layout and use `pm_static.yml` when doing DFU… enough said!)
2. NSIB is a no-go if external flash is involved because it *insists* on making a composite image that won't actually load.

Tomorrow, I'll see if I can bend `mcuboot` to my will. Primarily I want to see if I can move the public keys it uses for authenticity checks into a separate partition so I can update those without flashing a whole new bootloader.

What’s one “comfort zone” you know you’ve outgrown… but you still go back anyway?
(We’re not judging, we’re probably doing it too.)

🎧 This week’s episode gets into it.

#OpenThread #MentalHealth #PodcastTalk #QueerVoices

Well… I think I'm hours away from an #anniversary.

12 months ago I observed a lot of #InfoSec people seemingly jumping ship from the social network formerly known as #Twitter, to the Fediverse.

I never joined commercial platforms like Facebook or Twitter. I never "got" Twitter… just seemed to be lots of out-of-context quotes with no apparent "flow". #Facebook seemed like a duplication of what my blog does.

I briefly considered joining an existing instance… maybe mastodon.radio (since I have an #AmateurRadio license)… infosec.exchange (since I have an interest in #InfoSec), theblower.au (since I'm Australian)… then thought… f-it, I'll just start my own like I did for everything else.

Today marks a year since I followed the Join Mastodon guide installing Mastodon in a blank VM and getting myself federated.

I've slowly gotten used to the quirks of this system, and the customs of the people that use it. (Customs which are wide and varied… a good thing!)

As an #introduction (long overdue)… I work in IT doing software engineering, mostly writing device drivers for energy meters to use in a fork of #NodeRED… also do some embedded #OpenThread work (mostly TI CC2538). Outside of work, I have an interest in programming and networks.

I got my radio license in early 2008, initially as VK4FSJL, then upgraded to the standard license I have now 8 months later.

I am on the #ASD spectrum, being diagnosed as "high-functioning Autistic" back in 1987.

I've got three big passions in my life, #OpenSource, #Radio (both commercial and amateur) and #Music. I consider myself a music luddite, listening mostly to popular music: my collection presently spans 1935 ~ 2023 with the vast majority of it falling between 1960 and 1990.

Started with #Linux back in 1996, now almost exclusively a Linux user on the desktop, with a couple of servers running #OpenBSD, and some dabbling in other OSes like #NetBSD. I consider Microsoft Windows a legacy operating system unsuited to production use.

Staunch #RightToRepair advocate. I support #Transgender and #Disabled peoples' right to fair and just treatment. #AntiFacist. #NonDriver #Pedestrian and #Cyclist.

@jpm I usually bounce between vendors depending on the application.

STM32s can be hard to come by at times, although I have a couple of such models in stock.

RP2040 (aka Pi Pico) looks interesting, but not yet taken the plunge.

I have a use case actually that calls for a wireless solution: a replacement doorbell. We just bought a new one, but it's only a matter of time before that 433MHz piece of crap keels over.

So the thinking is use #OpenThread to make a new one… that favours the nRF52840 since it's supported by OpenThread.

Figures… so recently our doorbell (a cheap 433.92MHz wireless jobbie with batteries both ends) stopped working.

I checked the sounder, 2×AA… multimeter across the batteries in circuit showed about 3V, seemed fine. But, press the remote, LED turns on, no sound.

So we happened to be browsing the Kenmore hardware, bought a new doorbell.

I open the new one up… pick a "channel" on the two units via the DIP switches… then install it. Check it works… all good.

Then I have a look at the old unit. The transmitter board managed to become dislodged in the case, but it still "functioned". Removed the AA cells from and opened up the receiver, nothing amiss, but dead as a doornail.

Put everything back together, re-install the AA cells… now the old doorbell works.

I'm guessing the current one will mysteriously die at some point (we had one like it years ago, it silently failed)… so maybe there's an opportunity to buy some #nRF52840 dev boards and make myself an #OpenThread doorbell.
