Warning about Migration to SkyConnect

I’ve successfuly migrated my configuration from Sonoff Dongle (TI CC2652P version) to my new SkyConnect, using the ‘migrate’ radio option.

I reflashed the firmware of the Sonoff dongle into Router mode to have a better coverage for my house.

Then I got a lot of trouble to understand why I could not get the Sonoff dongle paired in HA with ZHA.
(Tip: to pair the Sonoff dongle in router mode you have to plug it into USB port then press one of the buttons on the PCB)

In fact when I originaly migrated from the Sonoff dongle to the SkyConnect, HA flashed the Sonoff MAC address into the SkyConnect, then I had two different hardware with the same MAC address.
This was really confusing as HA showed me the new discovered device as the SkyConnect adapter.

As it looks that there’s no way to flash SkyConnect MAC address (yet ?), I had to change my Sonoff Dongle MAC address.
I did it using cc2538-bsl python script (windows style):
python cc2538-bsl.py -evw -p COM1 --ieee-address 00:12:4B:00:00:12:34:56 --bootloader-sonoff-usb CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_router_20220125.hex

I hope it can help !!!
