📦 SLZB-OS 3.2.6.dev2 - Release Notes (dev)

✨ Thread + OTBR running on the device - update

Many users have asked for the ability to set TLVs for this mode via SLZB-OS and now you can do this on on /otbr  page!

🛠️ Improvements

🐛 Fixes

  • ✅ Fixed Zigbee automatic update ignores speed change in new firmware
  • ✅ Fixed a crash in Berry error handler

📦 SLZB-OS 3.2.6.dev0 - Release Notes (dev)

✨ New: Thread + OTBR running on the device (SLZB-xU only) - evaluation/beta mode.

You can now run run OpenThread Border Router (OTBR)  directly on the SLZB device, instead of running the OTBR add-on/app in Home Assistant.

✅ Why this could be a no-brainer:

  • Home Assistant connects to OTBR via via network REST API, so you no longer rely on the the Serial-over-IP  link used in in “Thread to external OTBR”  mode.
  • This aims to improve reliability of Thread connectivity between Home Assistant and SLZB devices fpr those, who experiences issues with connectivity.

🏠 Home Assistant setup:

  • OTBR REST API is available at at http://device-ip:8080

⚠️ Important notes / limitations:

  • 🧪 Initial (beta) integration  — may have limitations or unexpected behavior.
  • 🌐 IPv6 is required  and will be be force-enabled  when this mode is activated.
  • 🧠  "Thread + OTBR running on the device" mode can't work with with "router (standard)" mode for Ethernet ↔ WiFi bridge and  and Zigbee Hub mode. To activate back these features, device mode should be othar than "Thread + OTBR running on the device".
  • "Transparent" mode for WiFi ↔ Ethernet bridge  is incompatible with "Thread + OTBR running on the device". If you need "Transparent" mode for WiFi ↔ Ethernet bridge - please use any of the previous versions of the SLZB-OS.
  • 🔒 Availability:  only on on SLZB-xU series.
  • 🔁 Alternative:  you can still use use Thread + remote OTBR  mode (USB/Ethernet) if you prefer OTBR running elsewhere.

🛠️ Improvements

  • ⏱️ Added uptime info for for Socket2 and  and Socket3 in  in /ha_sensors
