I gave the Open Thread Border Router Add-on a try with SkyConnect but decided to use this later when it is more stable and for now continue using my apple thread network.
So I removed the Add-On but in the list of thread networks the “home assistant” network is still there, obviously with no routers, as the preferred network.
How can I remove this network? Are there problems to expect if it can’t be removed?
With the new version of the IOS companion app I was able to import the apple thread network credentials and choose the apple network as the preferred network. After this it was possible to delete the home assistant network.
I am having a related weird issue. I also have a redundant network (Google Wifi Nest Pro) that I am no longer using. I have deleted this network (using the trash can icon) on both the PC and companion app. Hy HA thread network is set to preferred on both too. I then go to sync the thread credentials via the companion app and get an error message saying “Home Assistant and this device prfer different networks (device prefers: NEST-PAN-103E).” Then, when I go look back in the thread integration the Google network is re-invented?! Any ideas please?
The step above did not wipe out my preferred “NEST-PAN-####” network (that appears to have come from my now broken Nest Hub). It did wipe out my Wallet Credit Cards as the warning said
I had to promote my newly created thread network to be preferred and then delete the NEST-PAN one.
