Argh, the @IP was only accessible for 2-3 minutes, and now there’s no response even after rebooting the module!
Anything in the log that shows why it lost its connection?
I’ve run my C6 for about 10 minutes and it keeps pinging fine.
I don’t understand.
Yesterday, I tested two Xiao ESP32C6 modules again, and HA detected them correctly. Both were accessible via their IPV6 addresses.
OTBR can see them:
# ot-ctl
> srp server host
esp32c6-1.default.service.arpa.
deleted: false
addresses: [fd43:b533:bfc7:1:2d14:3659:b25e:ac02]
esp32c6-2.default.service.arpa.
deleted: false
addresses: [fd43:b533:bfc7:1:faa5:206:2404:942e]
Done
I added a log to display the module’s IP address.
[D][sensor:131]: 'esp32c6-1 Uptime': Sending state 542.58899 s with 0 decimals of accuracy
[D][MYLOG:047]: IP ADDR: 'fd43:b533:bfc7:1:2d14:3659:b25e:ac02'
A few hours later, they were no longer accessible and the module log no longer displayed their @IP.
[D][sensor:131]: 'esp32c6-1 Uptime': Sending state 482.58301 s with 0 decimals of accuracy
[D][MYLOG:047]: IP ADDR: ''
I will replace the nrf52840 USB dongle connected to the OTGR with a SONOFF ZBDONGLE-E flashed with openthread rcp firmware and see if I get the same behavior.
Thank you for your help, I will keep you posted.

Might ESPhome also work to let the H2 be a Thread Border Router?
No, ESPHome only supports Full Thread Device (“router”) and Minimal Thread Device (“end device”) device types. And besides that, ESPHome doesn’t support Matter.
