I set up Nuki with home Assistant and it’s working quite well via Thread/Matter. I would like to combine MQTT and Thread now, but it’s impossible to connect to HASS via Thread as I can’t find the hostname. I tried hass.local as shown in my Thread settings, but this didn’t work. I also couldn’t find any details in the documentation (e.g. here), so I would greatly appreciate if someone would be able to support me here? What am I missing?
Unfortunately Home Assistants OTBR addon is no longer able to resolve hostnames.
I raised an issue some time ago but it was not addressed.
To be able to connect to MQTT via Thread you need to use the IP address of the broker instead of the hostname or use an older version of the OTBR addon.
