Hello everyone,
As you may understand from my lack of proper jargon, I’m new to HA universe.
I installed HAos on RPi4, I bought a Sonoff Zigbee dongle v2 which with some struggles, I managed to flash to a just OTBR firmware (little OT, I’ve found several links to a web flasher hosted by a developer and I had no luck with that, there is now an official one on Sonoff website) , no multipan or zigbee, and I wanted to connect my freshly installed Aqara U200. The connections halt on my smartphone after checking credentials for my wifi network, telling me that it cannot connect to thread border router.
First stupid question, why it checks my wifi if thread is another protocol on other frequencies on other antennas etc.?
I’ve tried to do the pairing from my android phone, regularly updated, no root, no custom rom, HA companion app full installed by google play store. Credentials synchronization seem to work from the app, when done from the troubleshooting sub-menu (altough there is really nothing to share, but at least it doesn’t throw errors).
What I’ve tried so far:
- flashing and reflashing the dongle, currently I’m on fw 2.4.5 (link), I’ve tried also 2.4.4.
- Randomly, restarting services, unplugging and plugginn the dongle and such.
- Reinstalled HA, it’s not a big issue since I don’t have nothing except a smart lamp and the Aqara.
Any suggestion? Should I send back the dongle and buy something more reliable/user-friendly/cheaper/better? I bought this because it looked a good compromise between feature, price and availability.
