SkyConnect - silabs multiprotocol and docker

carstenb · January 29, 2023, 12:00pm

The upcoming release of HA also activates the multi-pan feature again. I have a SkyConnect stick but my main HA installation is running in a docker container.
I have setup a small HA test system on a Raspberry with HA OS and there the silabs multiprotocol addon is available. So I activated it, the firmware was upgraded and voila - I have a thread enabled border router.
I would like to achieve the same on my main docker system but of course the addon is not available. But I have found a docker container from silabs which is even their recommended way to setup the whole stack. Is there any chance to use that from HA?
What I am primarily looking for is Thread (+Matter) as I am already running Zigbee via zigbee2mqtt which is integrated into HA as well.

I’m interested in this solution, should it be possible, myself. I want to clarify that I haven’t tried anything yet (just received my SkyConnect), and have been actively researching solutions and trying to determine the pros and cons.

I found the same Silabs docker container you referenced (https://hub.docker.com/r/siliconlabsinc/multiprotocol) with no documentation specific to the container itself, that I could find.

I also found the docker file that underpins the HA add-on you referenced (https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/silabs-multiprotocol). This appears to be (at least conceptually) based on the official Silabs image (as far as the list of services that end up running), possibly with some changes made to make it play with HA a little better. I haven’t really delved into the details just yet.

From what I can gather, we have a couple of challenges here:

Flashing the actual USB stick to the Multiprotocol firmware that underpins this whole concept. There appear to be a couple of ways to achieve this (Manually, or by “(mis)using” the HA container itself).
Figuring out which container (or containers) to run to be able to take advantage of Zigbee and Thread. From what I can gather, the gist of these containers is to run the “cpcd” (Co-processor communication daemon). That daemon can then communicate with a Zigbee daemon, and an OpenThreadBorderRouter agent. From there, you can connect to Zigbeed with ZHA (and possibly with Zigbee2MQTT, if it supports a socket as its data source. I haven’t researched that). Similarly, there is an OTBR Web service that communicates with the OTBR Agent via a unix socket to provide a front-end. In the official Addon, access to this UI is just passed-through it seems. Reading through the Silabs documentation (here) shows the same overall idea, but it looks like they may be using different services for the zigbee daemon (although I’m not informed enough about these librarys/services to say that with any confidence).

~~What I don’t understand is how HA interfaces in any way with the OTBR portion of this stack.~~
Edit: If I understand correctly, thread is dependent on ipv6 which is going to present its own set of challenges since we’re running HA inside of a container. Docker technically has support, but there appear to be some trade-offs, so I’m still investigating this part.

Anyway, I apologize if any of this is misinformed, or rambling. I’m sure discussion will pick up sooner than later about this, as people get their SkyConnects and all that. As for me, I think I’m going to proceed with attempting to flash the multiprotocol firmware via my existing HA container, and then see if I can get the “official” docker container up and running on its own.

I hope more knowledgable people see this thread and continue to contribute and share their findings.

At this stage, the Multi-PAN module is software driven, using the same IEEE number on the radio.

What I would do, if you want a Thread radio, is wait for the dedicated Thread Firmware to be released and run Zigbee on a known good coordinator you already have and run dedicated Thread on the SkyConnect.
I have had issues with the SkyConnect and ZHA in Home Assistant, and there are some reports that in Multi-PAN mode it really doesn’t perform well, which I would expect as the radio will be time shared between Thread and Zigbee.

Honestly, there are not that many Thread devices at the moment and the ones out there can run via another borderrouter and be accessible in Home Assistant. I would just wait for the dedicated Thread firmware for the Sky Connect.

I have tried to run the Silabs docker container you referenced (https://hub.docker.com/r/siliconlabsinc/multiprotocol ) with the help of the run.sh script available here gecko_sdk/app/host/multiprotocol/zigbeed/multiprotocol-container at gsdk_4.2 · SiliconLabs/gecko_sdk · GitHub.

What I successfully do by now is :

Flash the Skyconnect dongle with python -m universal_silabs_flasher --device /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_d6f52411b414ed11824dbe8be054580b-if00-port0 flash --allow-cross-flashing --firmware silabs-firmware/RCPMultiPAN/beta/NabuCasa_SkyConnect_RCP_v4.2.1_rcp-uart-hw-802154_115200.gbl
Start the silabs container using ./run.sh -c cpcd.conf -X with the following cpcd.conf

I can access to the web ui and create a network.

After all I have these services running

All seems to be working but I can’t find out how to :

add zigbee device to zigbee2mqtt (socat not in tcp mode but in device mode and get permission denied when trying to access the ttyZigbeeNCP created)
add the otbr to thread or otbr integration

nervousapps · March 7, 2023, 11:07pm

EDIT: I manage to redirect ttyZigbeeNCP to tcp port with ser2net as described here Connect to a remote adapter | Zigbee2MQTT
When I run zigbee2mqtt I think it is blocked in an init loop and the tcp traffic is as follow

sunshineV9 · March 10, 2023, 3:08pm

I also got it working on my raspberry, but am still facing some issues.
Did you get it working with the OTBR integration as well?
I’m still having trouble connecting to the REST API. When I navigate to port 8081 in the browser, I get a 404 error.

nervousapps · March 10, 2023, 3:43pm

Yes I have the web ui for otbr, but it is not the 8081 port (which is the one of the boarder router to enter in HA integration).
The port of the web ui is set for me on 8086 as you can see in my last post

I am doing a new image that will be able to run with docker-compose and environment variables file (with s6-overlay but without bashio).

sunshineV9 · March 10, 2023, 6:49pm

Web-UI is also working for me on port 8086, but I am talking about connecting home assistant with the otbr via the integration for OTBR ( Open Thread Border Router - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)).
Connecting to port 8081 (which should be hosting the REST-API), I receive following response:

{
	"ErrorCode":	404,
	"ErrorMessage":	"404 Not Found"
}

If I correctly read the otbr-agent-rest-discovery script, the integration should be setup with port 8081.

sunshineV9 · March 10, 2023, 7:22pm

I figured it out now, i had to form a thread network via the web-ui and then could connect it via http://IP-ADDRESS:8081

nervousapps · March 12, 2023, 6:24pm

Finally got a clean way to set up all this mess haDOCKERaddons/silabs-multiprotocol/dockerCustom at master · nervousapps/haDOCKERaddons · GitHub

nervousapps · March 13, 2023, 8:29pm

After a bit of struggle, I have successfully paired all my nanoleaf essentials bulbs on the thread network created via otbr.

What I needed to do is :

Add the environment variables to HA as described here HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) over CoAP/UDP (was: Nanoleaf Essentials bulb via Thread/CoAP) - #111 by Jc2k
Add the Thread integration and configure it with the otbr rest api address
Activate the thread capabilities of my nanoleaf bulbs via homekit integration

Now I can see the topology of my thread network via the otbr web ui

Jc2k · March 13, 2023, 8:46pm

You should not use those environment variables any more. They were temporary, everything is turned on by default now.

marcokreeft87 · June 1, 2023, 7:09am

I was also having the same issue :

However, I edited the “DockerFile” file to call for :

and had also previously tried editing the docker-compose.yml:

I think that it is somewhat working…need to figure out from above posts the other important details.

My USB dongle is running firmware for MultiPan RCP on ZB-GW04 v1.2 @ 230400 Baud

Please help!
I have “exec /init: exec format error” in the log and it repeats endlessly and neither Zigbee nor Thread work.
I’m not a Docker wizard, so I’d appreciate a step-by-step guide. For example, I’m not sure what to do with the rootfs directory? Does it download by itself or do I have to download it and copy it somewhere?

leopold · June 14, 2023, 10:26am

exec /init: exec format error”

mean you run an arm64 image on another architecture, like amd64

as you can see here
https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/homeassistant/aarch64-addon-silabs-multiprotocol/tags
and here
Docker!

use the correct image for your architecture

AsztalosZs · June 14, 2023, 8:59pm

I’ve already managed to get a little ahead. Now there is no longer one error message endlessly, but many different ones.

Koky · June 22, 2023, 7:15am

Do you have a driver for your dongle? Because under DSM is not loaded by default and you need to load them “manually” on restart of OS. In your case I think it is “ch343.ko”.
