Hey guys,
I’m still very new to HA and I have a lot of questions…
About a week ago, I installed HA Green and Homepod at my new house.
With HA Green, I purchased Sky Connect, thinking I might use Matter/Thread for my smart home devices. (I have never had any smart home devices before)
I’ve been having difficulty finding matter/thread options for my devices.
- I purchased smart wing blinds in matter/thread and are currently on their way.
- I haven’t been able to find light switches yet in matter/thread yet.
A few days ago, I accidentally bought a Zigbee LED driver and installed it for under cabinet lighting.
However, I have no way of controlling this LED driver because I do not have a Zigbee hub.
When installing Sky Connect, I chose the ‘thread’ option.
I thought Skyconnect was supposed to allow me to control Zigbee AND thread, but my understanding now is that it’s either or.
I’ve been trying to change Skyconnect configuration to Zigbee, but I’m having no luck.
I can’t find it online how to do it. Some explanations I found are just way too hard for a newbie like me to understand.
Questions.
- Can a single Sky Connect control Zigbee AND thread?
- How do you reset or reconfigure Sky Connect from thread to Zigbee?
- If I change Sky Connect to Zigbee, would I be able to control my blinds which have Matter over thread?
Im so confused right now…
I bought HA Green because I liked how HA lets you do much more automation than having Homekit alone, but I’m so lost with HA right now.
All I have been successful to do with HA green and Homepod is setting up Schlage lock to my homepod and been controlling it with HA app.
