ZBT-2 discovered even though it is already installed

Configuration Matter/Thread

hey :waving_hand:

I have a zbt-2 with Thread firmware currently set up. OpenThread border router is set up on HA, and my network is working just fine.

Since a couple of days ago, I'm seeing my ZBT-2 as Discovered

I have no idea why, I haven't changed anything and as I mentioned, no issues with my Matter devices.

I wonder if I can ignore it this, or if going with Add does any good, like, tracking firmware versions, but also a bit concerned if doing any modifications can wreck my Thread/Matter setup (99% sure it won't affect but anyway)

I'm using Docker-based version, privileged container.

Check your integrations page if you have it already installed & if this "discovered" integration is a duplicate. There was a bug in the 2026.5.0 release where the ZBT-2 was being detected twice, but the bug was fixed in last Friday's 2026.5.2 release. If that's the case, all you need to do is update HA to the latest version.

I don't use it myself, but it should report firmware version. These are the properties it should expose, judging by the code for the ZBT-2 integration:

FIRMWARE = "firmware"
FIRMWARE_VERSION = "firmware_version"
SERIAL_NUMBER = "serial_number"
MANUFACTURER = "manufacturer"
PRODUCT = "product"
DESCRIPTION = "description"
PID = "pid"
VID = "vid"
DEVICE = "device"

nope, not installed. never did it. I flashed the zbt-2 when I bought, spin up the openthred container, it found the device and that's it.

but it should report firmware version.

that's what I was looking for. my only concern is that the steps to add the integration requires me to kind of "re-flash" the zbt and I wonder if it will break my setup
