Common questions
What does a Thread Border Router need to provide so Thread devices can reach other IP networks?
It must provide bidirectional IP connectivity between Thread and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. It also handles DNS-based service discovery with mDNS on the infrastructure link and SRP on Thread, Thread-over-infrastructure, and external commissioning.
Why would I choose an RCP design for OpenThread Border Router?
RCP lets OpenThread use the host processor, which usually has more resources than an 802.15.4 SoC. It also reduces the 802.15.4 SoC requirements, eases debugging and IPv6 integration, and makes SoC firmware updates less frequent.
Can Google Home connect when OTBR is running in Docker?
A user reported that Google Home and other apps could not connect when OpenThread Border Router was run in a Docker container on a Raspberry Pi.
What have people reported about initial Matter and Thread setup on Home Assistant?
A community post describes struggling to get an initial Thread Border Router working for Smartwings Matter motors in Home Assistant.
Where should I report OpenThread bugs or feature requests?
OpenThread bugs and feature requests should be submitted to the OpenThread Issue Tracker. Community discussion is available for questions and ideas.
