Silicon Labs Multiprotocol: OpenThread Border Router not working

[merlinpimpim]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I can't configure the OTBR integration with Silicon Labs Multiprotocol (SLM) 2.4.2:

In the SLM addon, with (firewall disabled):

--> The SLM addon crash :(

--> The SLM addon does NOT crash. But I still can't configure OTBR integration.

"ipset v7.10: Kernel error received: Invalid argument" seems to be the problem but I don't know how to solve it !

Note: with version 2.3.2 I could configure OTBR integration with the following configuration in SLM:

• OTBR enabled
• Firewall disabled.

The addon did not crash (but the ipset v7.10 error was already present).

I also have this error that I posted on Core (now closed), because this error had clearly occurred with Core 2024.1.0b5 for the first time and is now still present with 2024.1.0. The OTBR is started by Silicon Labs Multiprotocol and is also accessible via the web interface, but the OTBR device cannot be set up (error during setup).

• RPi4 and OS 11.3
• Silicon Labs Multiprotocol Current version: 2.4.2

Who can correct this error?

[merlinpimpim]

Hello,

Still no news?

How can I correct this issue on a supervised Home Assistant like mine, please? (HA supervised on a Khadas VIM1S (Fenix 1.5.1 Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Linux 5.4.180).

Exactly same issue here with my SonOff ZBDongle-E flashed with multiprotocol. The Silicon Labs Multiprotocol add-on proper run depends on OTBR firewall status.

With OTBR firewall disabled : the SLM add-on stops by itself fairly quickly /Zigbe2MQTT does not work (as SLM add on stops) / I can quickly see the dongle Open Thread Border Router, until the add-on stops.

With With OTBR firewall enabled : the Silicon Labs Multiprotocol stays up and running, but the SLM add on logs loops with the following messages / Zigbe2MQTT can be used / no Open Thread border router found anytime :

[09:11:49] INFO: otbr-agent ended with exit code 1 (signal 0)... [09:11:49] INFO: OTBR firewall teardown completed. [09:11:49] WARNING: otbr-agent exited with code 1 (by signal 0). [09:11:52] INFO: Setup OTBR firewall... ipset v7.10: Kernel error received: Invalid argument

[merlinpimpim]

I don't know who is capable of dealing with this issue, but no one has responded to our problems since the case was opened.

[msevestre31]

I found some discussions about updating dongle to firmware 4.4.0, which unfortunately is finally NOK as current SLM add on is working with 4.3.1 (actually, by two times, the add on had to be udpated to fit with 4.3.1 as 4.4.0 was not stable).

Let's wait for a later version with a stable 4.4.x firmware and related SLM add-on.

[merlinpimpim]

The issue seems to be more complex than that as I have the impression that it exists on the supervised versions of Home Assistant but not on the HassOS version.

[msevestre31]

I am on supervised as well. All this is fairly recent, thus let's be patient :)

Still no answer, but I did find this about "code 143 (by signal 15)": https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/issues/3446

Hey, potential to reopen this? Having the same issue with a Home Assistant Yellow + Silicon Labs Multiprotocol 2.4.5 + the OTBR addon.
