SkyConnect Documentation and FAQ

[NanoWireDnB]

Feedback

Please provide full SkyConnect Documentation on

• technical specs,
• datasheet,
• setup with HA core (addon->configuration->integration->adding devices),
• settings

and of course FAQ relating especially to

• features,
• information on running two ZigBee radios simultaneously, (for legacy support, offloading or migration)
• compatibility with addons/integrations,
• migration from other ZigBee radios/gateways/controllers (Conbee/deconz, Sonoff, ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT etc.),
• status of matter/thread support
• and so on.

Maybe you can also share experimental/alpha/beta firmware for those who want to test out thread/matter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @NanoWireDnB,

Thank you for your feedback! In the meantime, the majority of the items you listed have been documented:

• Technical specs: https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/
• setup with HA core: https://skyconnect.home-assistant.io/ and https://skyconnect.home-assistant.io/new-zigbee/
• settings: not sure what you mean? settings during migration? depends on the setup: see instructions: https://skyconnect.home-assistant.io/
• features: https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/
• information on running two ZigBee radios simultaneously, (for legacy support, offloading or migration): This is not documented yet. I created a new issue for this: Add information on running two Zigbee radios simultaneously #19.
• compatibility with addons/integrations: I created a new issue for this: Add information on SkyConnect compatibility with addons/integrations #20.
• migration from other ZigBee radios/gateways/controllers (Conbee/deconz, Sonoff, ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT etc.): The migration is now described in step-by-step procedures: https://skyconnect.home-assistant.io/zigbee-migration-selection/
• status of matter/thread support: An overview is provided in this blogpost: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/02/08/state-of-matter-and-thread

For this reason, I'm closing this issue, while keeping track of the open items in 2 new separate issues.

@NanoWireDnB in general, try creating small tickets with actionable items, and also describe exactly what information you are missing (e.g. "settings" is really broad, SkyConnect is just a piece of HW without "settings". What do you expect exactly).
