Thread border router issue installing Aqara P2

[zBernie (Bernie)]

When attempting to install an Aqara P2 device I get the error below (On my phone). I thought all this time I had Thread/Matter. Actually, I’ve previously installed one Matter device. Anyway, I have many Zigbee devices already connected to my ZBT-2. Would I have to switch them to the Home Assistant Yellow’s internal Zigbee radio, then configure the ZBT-2 for Thread?

Your devices need a thread border router
Connect your border router then
try setting up your device

Although for a different device, see if the following helps, especially the prerequisites section:

Adding Matter device (Eve Energy)

I thought I would share my experience adding a US/Canada 4th generation Eve Energy Plug to HA using: Standard HA installation (HAOS, Supervisor, Core, etc.) As of this writing HA core version 2024.11 HA OTBR AddOn/Integration HA Matter Server AddOn/Integration HA iOS Companion App for commissioning. The Eve Energy Plug Device: Product number: 10EBU4151 Model number: 20EBU4101 Comes loaded out of the box with Matter/Thread firmware After commissioning one can find the versions: Firmware: 3…

Thanks. But I prefer to use my ZBT-2 for Zigbee.

I don’t really understand your question … I mean whatever you’ve done involves adding Aqara as a Matter/thread device, not a ZigBee device.

The ZBT-2 can be configured for Zigbee OR Thread. I don’t want to re-configure the ZBT-2 as I use it for Zigbee. I have not done anything regarding installing the Aqara P2, since it requires a Thread border router.
