Hi, I run HA on a Raspi4 with a Skyconnect Dongle and several Zigbee repeaters (Ikea Tradfri) and several Zigbee only devices. Now I have some devices like a Nuki Lock (which is already integrated using MQTT) but I wonder how to enable multiprotocol without losing all my zigbee devices. I also own a Alexa device which has border router capability which shows up but cannot be set up as preferred network. Switching to multiprotocol in Settings-System-Hardware no longer seems to work?!
I tried to google a bit but have not really found a solution on how to set this up correctly and if I might need repeaters for matter.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

This experimental firmware has been available since December 2022. Through extensive testing, we have found that although it works in some circumstances, it has technical limitations that lead to a worse user experience. We now do not recommend using this firmware, and it will be experimental for the foreseeable future. Instead, we will focus on making sure the dedicated Zigbee and Thread firmwares for Home Assistant SkyConnect deliver the best experience to users.
So the best thing would probably be to run it on separate hardware. (A second coordinator)
