Works perfectly as a thread border router and was detected by HAOS with no issues - using a raspberry pi 5 running HAOS directly. Only mildly confusing is that it glows when it's ready to pair, flashes when it's positioned incorrectly and doesn't flash at all once it's set up properly. In hindsight this makes sense, as you don't want unnecessary power/flashing lights around the house when it's on as intended but it was confusing when I saw it glowing and assumed it worked! NOTE: ONLY USE the braided cable provided - most USB-A/USB-C cables will not run properly, resulting in it turning on/recieving power but can't be detected by HAOS! Learned this the hard way after faffing around for ages. Packaging was perfect (box is branded for openhome foundation - cute!). Setup instructions were clear. Product feels sturdy and well built - it's not too big, not too small.
