Skyconnect - Disable Multiprotocol

1

Hello together,
i am using my skyconnect since a few months with Silicon Labs Multiprotocol enabled and controlling a few threat / matter and zigbee devices.
Because sometimes i had problem with not responding devices and now decided to buy a second device ( SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus) to seperate the thread and zigbee connections .
So, in the future the sonoff stick will handle my zigbee devices and the skyconnect should handle the thread devices.

Has anyone done this by himself and have some advices for me? Or is there a “manual” how to do this transition smoothly?
I only found this documentation: Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1
Unfortunately, if i understood it correctly, this will result into setting up all my thread devices again :/…

  • Is there a way were i do not have to reconfigure everything?
  • Should i flash my skyconnect with the thread-only firmware? Or is that not important if i don’t use multiprotocoll? Can i backup and restore my config and devices :/?

Hello together, a short update of my situation:

With new sonoff Stick inserted i installed zigbee2mqtt (was using zha before) and moved all my zigbee devices under the same name from zha to zigbee2mqtt . This worked very well, so all zigbee devices are handled by the new sonoff stick while all existing Matter&thread devices still using the skyconnect stick.
And for now … I think i keep it this way… I would like to flash my skyconnect to a thread only device, but i dont’t want to reconfigure all thread and Matter devices at the moment… At least if there is no was of Backup and restore my thread Network

If anyboy knows how to do that, i am very interested :)… But for now everything is ok for me, maybe it helps the stability of my Network already if the smart devices are handled with different USB sticks
