Trying to change the channel on Skyconnect as Thread router

What type of installation are you running and on what setup of hardware/hypervisor?

Hi @WallyR

It is set up on a Proxmox, and have been for years.
It’s the ‘Core’ version running in a VM.
The SkyConnect is looped into the HA through a USB ‘Vendor/device’ mapping.
HA sees the Skyconnect, and I can flash it with different firmwares.

But I’m really lost here.

At some point I had a VLAN60 set up. I found out that was in nmcli, so I’ve removed that as it is no longer in use.
That removed the ‘/VLAN60/’ errors from the log.

I then read that I had to make sure that IPv6 was enabled on HA, as thread uses that.
So I did that.

I then removed all addons and integration, and did a reboot of the entire VM, not just HA.

I then went to hardware, and asked it to set up the skyconnect as a thread device.
It installed the OpenThread Border Router as it should.
It also discovered the Thread integration.

I then added the Matter Server Add On.
And it showed the Matter integration as well.

But I still see errors:

From the OpenThread Border Router:

Looking at NMCLI it looks like this:

So it does have IPv6 set up, and there is a fe80… interface, but it’s not what’s shown in the nmcli list??

Furthermore, at the current state I can’t even sync thread credentials from the HA app (I have an Android).
