ZBT-1 not comissioned after 9.x.x update

Configuration Matter/Thread
1

Hi everyone,

I updated my Matter Server from 8.x.x to 9.0.2 (9.0.3 now) a couple days ago. To be honest, I didn't disable watchdog (my bad), but Gemini assures me the migration went smoothly - I only have 6 matter devices.

Basically I'm wondering about the new Thread visualization menu.

I've read the Migration FAQ, and as noted, I do have two "ghost" External Routers, but what has me kind of worried is that my ZBT-1 is shown in orange and not blue. Clicking it turns it blue temporarily, but if I click the refresh icon I get the "This device is not commissioned to this fabric and cannot be queried directly. Update network data from 5 nodes that see this device to update info." - same with the two ghost external routers.

It appears connected, but shows in orange instead of blue. All the devices are functioning normally.

Gemini is assuring me that the orange color for my ZBT-1 is normal since the router is not doing any active routing and that the ghost External routers should go away over the next couple of days (as my smart plugs and bulbs rebuild their internal routes?), but I dunno...

No apparent errors in the Matter App log.

I tried clearing Google Play services and re-syncing credentials twice, as well as removing and re-adding the Matter integration, but to no avail.

Should I rollback and re-upgrade or is this expected behavior? I'm under the impression my ZBT-1 should at least appear blue.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

My ZBT-2 shows in orange, it always has been orange.
It goes blue for a while if I click on it.

It also shows as "not commissioned into this thread network", and always has done.

Note that I've been using the beta version (which is now the standard version) for a couple of months, but haven't installed the latest update yet.

Sounds like your system is behaving normally.

Alright cool thanks. The ghost external routers are a bit of an eyesore as well, but I guess it is what it is, for the time being at least. Really hope it gets ironed out however eventually.
Also I had no idea they have a ZBT-2 now. Hopefully you guys get Zigbee 4.0 support, I may look into upgrading if that turns out to be the case. But after the whole dual stack pump and dump surrounding the original SkyConnect, I'm a bit weary. Sure, I got a Sonoff for my Zigbee network and kept the Skyconnect/ZBT-1 for Thread, but it's just not the same :confused: Would be even cooler if they let us have multiple controllers with Zigbee 4.0 like with Thread but oh well.

Was thinking about ZWA-2 and a zwave driveway opener, but everything I can find is extremely bulky so I went for a Shelly and WiFi for that one use-case. Hate the idea of WiFi IoT but alas. Don't think Zigbee would reach my apartment. Z-Wave LR would probably :smiley:

Anyway, I'm rambling now :smiley: Thanks for the reply!
