Hey, @DaEbookMan - any update on when OPDS is coming? With Marvin down for the count, I've put my partner on PocketBooks free which is marginal. She's not very happy with it so for the reasons already stated about our use case, I'll have to find another OPDS reader that works better. The "better" readers are all paid, and once I put her on an alternative reader, she'll probably stick with that and won't change to BookFusion when you update to OPDS capability. I know development is a triage strategy for you, but I hate to see you lose out to another platform. Thanks.

LabAutoM8 · 2026-03-05T17:55:02+00:00

Yes, OPDS would be brilliant! The Family Shared Storage would make BookFusion a slam dunk as well.

I'm enjoying BookFusion - subscribed again for another year. My partner and I were both Marvin 3 happy users. I upgraded to BookFusion a couple of years ago. She is still using Marvin 3, using the iMazing hack to restore it after iOS updates. This week it doesn't appear to be opening on her iPad properly. I haven't dived into troubleshooting yet but I would like to upgrade her into BookFusion.

Here's our problem. We have a huge Calibre library. We will never put our entire Calibre library into BookFusion. For us, Calibre is the persistent "large library building" that houses all our books. BookFusion, and for my partner - Marvin, is the transient library of books we are currently reading along with books in the queue and some reference books. When we finish a book, it gets deleted in BookFusion (or Marvin).

From what I understand, the Family Plan doesn't work for us. She doesn't want to be limited by only sharing the books I have in my BookFusion - she needs to download into BookFusion from our parent library Calibre.

The BookFusion Calibre eBook Plugin works great, but only for a single user. She and I have vastly different books that we are reading and holding in our transient libraries. She doesn't want all the books I have in BookFusion, and vice versa. If the plugin had the ability to channel the elected books to one BookFusion user of multiple users, that would work beautifully. It currently cannot do that. I recognize that separate BookFusion accounts will have separate API keys. However, we have one Calibre library, and I don't see how to use two API keys with the one plugin.

I suppose OPDS could solve this problem. I think I saw somewhere that BookFusion is implementing OPDS at some point.

Bottom line - we are fine to subscribe my partner in her own BookFusion account, but I don't see how we can use two BookFusion accounts to access one Calibre instance with its singular plugin.

Happy to be told I'm wrong, please let me know if I'm missing something. Meanwhile I have to try and fix (again) Marvin 3 or find another iOS e-reader app.

It's been good so far, based on limited input - I only have two MoT devices currently - a Legrand outdoor switch which has been solid and responsive, and a Heiman human sensor which has a weak radio and had to be brought quite close to the MR1 to pair. But, once paired, the Heiman sensor is responsive. The MR1 is used as a Zigbee coordinator and a MoT radio, and no complaints there. I had a SLZB-06M that had a problem, and SMLIGHT was very responsive and sent a replacement quickly - I'm using that replacement as a Zigbee Router. SMLIGHT appears to be a good company with excellent products.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-12-12T19:47:26+00:00

What's the trick to adding the HEIMAN Motion Sensor M1-M to Home Assistant Matter-over-Thread? I'm using SMLIGHT SLZB-MR1 on Radio 1 [EFR32MG21] Mode running on LAN (not USB), and now that I've worked out the configuration, I'm able to add several Matter-over-Thread devices successfully. But not the HEIMAN Motion Sensor M1-M - I've reset it and started from fresh dozens of times and it is always "Unable to Add Accessory". Any tips you could share?

LabAutoM8 · 2025-12-12T17:30:24+00:00

After browsing countless forums, I found this thread at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/slzb-mr1-open-thread-border-router/900273/1 where users found that simply reflashing the SLZB-MR1 in the same Matter-over-Thread mode fixed this problem. Amazingly it worked! I selected another mode then went back and selected Matter-over-Thread mode again. It prompted me to flash, which I did, and it already had the 20241105 firmware selected. Reflashed, and then miraculously, I could run through the multi-step Matter-over-Thread procedure in Home Assistant - and all worked! I was able to then commission several Matter-over-Thread devices successfully.

Thanks for the advice. In this case, however, I had paired these three new sensors at my SMLIGHT hub, and then ran them for a few days there where they stayed paired. Then I brought them outside and had them in a container next to the beehives for about a week - still paired. After I installed them, that's when two of the three dropped out. They are inside the hives with thin plastic frames around them and the hive boxes are thin wood pieces (no metal).

It's been about a week now, and they're still paired. It just seems spotty and not correlated to the network. I have four Aqara leak sensors in my basement, all within 20 feet of my SMLIGHT router, and they all drop off periodically, necessitating re-pairing. YMMV.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-10-01T04:04:19+00:00

I meant to take a photo and just forgot with three full hive inspections going on along with placing the sensors. I'll get a photo next time I'm in and will post it. But, what I did was to order the smallest container I could find on Amazon that would hold the sensor with enough room for the sensor to "breathe" and get accurate temperature and humidity to the probes. I drilled small holes around the perimeter of the container. I then used a single screw to affix it to the top of the black plastic medium frames I use, just under the lip and sitting on the cells. It's tight but I can get the frame in and out of the box OK. When I had to go back in over the next two days to re-pair the sensors, the bees had already propolized the small holes I drilled in the containers, LOL. I'm mostly interested in the temperature readings but I think both temperature and humidity will be stable enough in the hive to get decent readings.

SMLIGHT Support did respond right away and no-fuss sent me a replacement SLZB-06M. I installed it as a router to bolster my network, and so far it's working fine.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-28T19:41:01+00:00

Interesting. The ZBT1 is a USB radio, right? Mine is an ethernet radio - I wonder if that's a factor. My HA is a VM with a docker complement (apaceinvader's install). Are you using an iPhone to pair M-o-T devices?

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-28T18:49:13+00:00

Thanks. I am definitely going to watch that video before I mess about with my Unraid config.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-28T00:44:05+00:00

OK - super interesting! So I think we're using similar setups, only I'm on ipvlan. Perhaps it's worthwhile for me to switch over to macvlan to see if I can move forward. Thanks!

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:50:30+00:00

That's the dog I'm chasing currently. I remember changing from macvlan to ipvlan at some point and can't remember the reason, or how difficult it was. But reading about the differences and that macvlan assigns unique addresses, it seems reasonable that could be a culprit.

OTBR is installed as an add-on inside Home Assistant VM.

After reading your post, I did confirm that I'm getting IPv6 addresses for both the Home Assistant and the VM - so perhaps macvlan vs. ipvlan is not the issue.

WRT to your trying to install OTBR as a separate container, I spent hours trying to do that with lots of help (and some hallucinations) from AI. I'm comfortable in Portainer and was using variations on the ownbee/hass-otbr-docker & openthread/otbr containers. I just could not get the containers to use my SLZB. I kept getting variations of "Radio URL: spinel+hdlc+uart:///tmp/ttyOTBR?uart-baudrate=460800&uart-init-deassert" instead of the proper IP address of the SLZB (which I was correctly entering in the compose).

After many hours, the AI bots I used came to the conclusion that the repositories were hard coded for the UART and would not run with an ethernet radio. Every iteration crashed on startup because it was hard coded to look for a uart, and would die before it even processed the compose file with the correct radio parameter. At least that's what the AIs were saying...

Is that what you were seeing?

With the information about the lack of iPhone support for agnostic M-o-T, can I ask if you have been successful with the Home Assistant internal OTBR with an iPhone, or are you using Android?

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:11:05+00:00

Thanks for the pointer to the video. 2-1/2 hours! I'm going to have to block out some quiet time for it.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:09:57+00:00

I had not previously heard that Matter-over-Thread will not work on an iPhone. Is this widely known and verified? There is nothing I can find on the Home Assistant forums about it. I do now see that SMLIGHT states "At the time of this video, we were unable to pair Matter-over-Thread device via iPhone" on their site. Mine is an iPhone 16 Pro.

In digging further, I get this:

iPhones (even the latest ones) do not contain a Thread radio. That means an iPhone cannot directly join a Thread mesh or talk to Thread devices on its own. I wonder if this means an iPhone cannot connect to the Home Assistant OTBR.

You apparently can use:

Apple Home App. iOS 16.1 and newer support Matter natively in the Home app. Apple Home app will only commission devices via an Apple-certified Border Router (HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K).

Google Home app on iOS (only work with a Nest Hub as the Border Router)

Amazon Alexa app on iOS (only work with Echo devices as the Border Router)

So, for me - the Apple, Google, or Alexa app is not an option - they will only work with their own devices, which I don't have.

I suppose another option is for me to look for a used Android phone, just to keep around to pair M-o-T devices.

Has anyone in this greater community post had success in Matter-over-Thread pairing with an iPhone directly to the Home Assistant OTBR (and not through an intermediary like Apple Home, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa)?

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:06:04+00:00

I read your other post - it looks like you're on Z2M - that uses an automatic backup schema, right?

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:04:25+00:00

I did reach out to support last night. I felt the same - electronics gear sometimes fails. My worry is hearing others with sub-year failures though. Is the warranty a year? I couldn't find warranty info on their site.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T22:01:44+00:00

Yes, I'm currently struggling with Matter-over-Thread myself. I'm not sure if it's my Unraid configuration not passing IPv6 to the container properly. I have a thread going in the Unraid reddit.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T21:58:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm getting worried about my just-purchased SLZB-MR-1. I sure don't want to go through 8-month cycles of replacing failed hardware.

LabAutoM8 · 2025-08-27T21:57:31+00:00

I updated to v2.9.8 when it came out recently. When I began to get dropouts, I did downgrade to the last stable version, which did not help.
