I got the ZBT-2 and there is very little setup or instruction involved.

Plugged in its one and only cable to my pi5. It installed open border thread integration and matter integration.

It flashes blue seemingly at random.

I cannot get any of the IKEA Myggbett, Bilresa or whatever the sockets are called to connect.

I am sat at my ZBT-2, connected to Pi via USB C. Pi is on LAN. I am on wifi.

I get one of two failures

1 unable to connect, check device, reset, check pairing mode etc.

2 setup requires an open border thread controller and then I check and the integration is bugging out.

Please tell me where I am being an idiot

    This helped. It didnt fix it but it got me beyond “connecting to device” I was able to see the router and make it the preferredwithout drops. I slected sync credentials and it said I have none, I hit the three dots in the router integratiom and said use for “android and ios credentials” but it was your paththe syncing that allowed it for the first time move to “checking connectivity to thread network”

    My ISP router seems to have ipv6 locked away so I cant check my status for mDNS or anything though the host can see ipv6 addresses.

    So I guess new router time.
