Hello community,

got HA running for a few months and I am very happy with it. I already integrated my aqara devices with using a python matter server and now i purchased a Nabu Casa ZBT-2 as OTBR to try and integrate my IKEA devices via Thread to my ecosystem.

At first I flashed my ZBT-2 with the Flasher site provided by Nabu Casa - so far so good. But when integrating it in HA the official way, my installation is trying to flash it again and destoys the firmware repository. So I decided to install openthread on my own and add the border router afterwards manually in HA by providing the REST API to HA.

After a few hours of trying I managed to get my openthread/border-router project running in docker with the following compose:

services:
    otbr:
        image: openthread/border-router:latest
        container_name: otbr
        network_mode: host
        privileged: true
        restart: always
        volumes:
            - /volume1/docker/otbr/:/data/
        environment:
            - PUID:1000
            - PGID:1000
            - TZ:Europe/Berlin
            - OT_RCP_DEVICE=spinel+hdlc+uart:///dev/ttyACM0?uart-baudrate=460800
            - OT_INFRA_IF=eth0
            - OT_THREAD_IF=wpan0
            - OT_LOG_LEVEL=7
            - OT_REST_LISTEN_ADDR:0.0.0.0
            - OT_REST_LISTEN_PORT=9050
            - OT_VENDOR_NAME:OpenThread
            - OT_VENDOR_Model:BorderRouter    
            - OT_NAT64_ENABLE=1
            - OT_WEB_LISTEN_ADDR:0.0.0.0
            - OT_WEB_LISTEN_PORT:9051
        devices:
            - /dev/net/tun
            - /dev/ttyACM0

I manually started my openthread network with the following commands via ssh:

docker exec -it otbr ot-ctl
> dataset init new
> dataset commit active
> ifconfig up
> thread start
> state

State marks my ZBT-2 as leader and I can follow signal communicating in docker protocol.

But I cannot connect to the REST API via 9050 or 9051. Also HA fails to communicate.

Any ideas?

Thank you all!
