How stable is multi-protocol support on SkyConnect?
How stable is multi-protocol support on SkyConnect?
The SkyConnect dongle was sold as Zigbee but with the promise of also supporting Thread. This is available in HA as experimental. Does anyone have experience with how stable it is? Is it close to ready?

Thanks. I don’t actually have any devices yet, just trying to push what I have in the right direction
I only have Zigbee devices so far, but I'm running it in multiprotocol mode. No problems so far.
Yeah, same here. I have some Inovelli Blue Zigbee switches that are flushable to Thread but last I checked, some of their functionality was no longer supported
My HA instance is running as a container in kubernetes with the skyconnect USB device mounted by the container. It works perfectly in ZigBee mode but the option to enable multiprotocol mode is disabled unless you are running a native install so I haven't been able to test it yet. I don't have any Thread compatible devices so even if I could turn it on I don't have any real way to test it.
Maybe if I invest in Thread down the road I'll dedicate some hardware to it.
