Can't add OTBR credentials on HA

Hi.
I’ve and OpenThread Border Router installed on an ESP router board.
All seems works fine an I can access to it via web GUI:

I’ve Matter Server installed on my HA:

and on Thread device I can see my Thread border router:

Than, by launching HA app on my Android Phone, I try import credential:

but after few seconds it say to me that there aren’t credential to import:

And, finally, I can’t add thread border router and , than, Thread devices

Where am I wrong?

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Did you install the open thread border router integration ?

You should have something like that

Try to click on openthread-Ox99 and make it the preferred Open Tread border router

Hi Francis.

Anyway it seems to me that this addon is used when you want that your HA is a Thread Border router.

In my case I want that my ESP board is the border router and don’t my HA that is hosted on a Raspberry Pi5

Not that one, the integration

Ok.


but wich URL must I put here?

Normally, IP of your ESP router :8081

e.g. 10.0.0.66:8081 or http://10.0.0.66:8081 (don’t remember exactly)

Hi Francis.

With ip address of OTBR now works:

Anyway when I try to add an ESP matter device (created fro ESP Zerocode platform) from HA app on my Android phone, after connection to device, I see this (The device require an OTBR):

Probably I’m missing the last step.

Maybe try this:
