I’ve recently been having problems with a Nest Hub Max dropping off my wifi network… am working on a fix for this. But I was surprised to find that all my thread/matter lights disconnect when the Nest Hub Max is disconnected (or turned off). This is despite the fact that the OTBR on my SkyConnect device is set as the preferred network and that I paired all my lights with that Sky Connect network
If I delete the NEST_PAN-1AA6 network from HA (delete becomes an option when the Nest Hub is powered off), my lights all disconnect and remain that way despite restarting HA and power cycling the lights.
I’m hoping for some advice - so I can avoid the laborious task of repairing every single light with SkyConnect’s network. And concerned that even if I do, the Nest Hub will take over or interfere again.
