 spacekitteh | does anyone here run an OpenThread Border Router? | 01:17:57 |
| spacekitteh | (on nixos) | 01:18:27 |
 @hexa:lossy.network | is that like python-matter-server? | 01:19:17 |
| spacekitteh | sorta | 01:19:32 |
| spacekitteh | if you wanna use python-matter-server, then OTBR is a dependency to get running AFAIK | 01:19:49 |
| spacekitteh | or rather, if you want to use matter-over-thread | 01:20:43 |
| spacekitteh | * (if you want to use matter-over-thread) | 01:20:50 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | and you want to run thread for something else? | 01:21:23 |
| spacekitteh | yeah i have a bunch of thread devices | 01:21:37 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I don't think we have any other openthread border router | 01:21:41 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * I don't think we have any other openthread border router packaged up | 01:21:48 |
| spacekitteh | matter-server isn't a thread border router, is it? | 01:22:00 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server 🤷 | 01:22:11 |
| spacekitteh | matter is a higher level protocol, like TCP; thread is the IP + PHY layer | 01:22:55 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | yeah | 01:22:58 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | same as WLAN, only a transport | 01:23:19 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | the question is if it can handle an adapter that speaks thread | 01:23:51 |
| spacekitteh | * matter is a higher level protocol, like TCP; thread is the IP + MAC+ PHY layer | 01:24:08 |
| spacekitteh | kinda, WLAN is just the MAC + PHY, you don't have to have it running IP, afaik | 01:24:23 |
| spacekitteh | whereas thread explicitly includes IPv6 | 01:24:43 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | maybe packaging up https://github.com/openthread/ot-br-posix would be worthwhile? | 01:25:14 |
| spacekitteh | yeah that's what i'm currently trying to avoid, by asking if anyone is running it already :P | 01:25:29 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I see | 01:25:46 |
| spacekitteh | (specifically, avoiding the packaging it myself lmao) | 01:26:01 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | ot-br-posix is what home-assistant uses | 01:28:17 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/otbr/
https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/openthread_border_router | 01:28:22 |
| spacekitteh | yep | 01:28:27 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | and there are no github hits for ot-br-posix, soooo 😄 | 01:29:01 |
| spacekitteh | indeed :( | 01:29:10 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * and there are no github hits for ot-br-posix language:nix, soooo 😄 | 01:29:20 |
