What does this warning message mean? (And how can it be fixed?)
I think something happened with my Thread network overnight.
I had already added some devices in the previous weeks which worked perfectly, but today I tried to add a brand new Bilresa remote and a Tradfri driver. The Zigbee based Tradfri connected immediately, but I couldn't get the Bilresa to connect, no matter what I did. I noticed that I have this warning message "Thread configuration is skipped" showing up. I couldn't find anything in Google or Reddit, looking up this message.
I noticed that none of my Thread devices were working, they all showed up as Offline. I notices that in the Thread network details, in the Home smart app, the iOS Preferred Network and the Network added by HomeSmart differed. I messed around in the settings, did something so finally they became the same. I think that the pairing fail page had a message on the bottom that "the hub is not on the preferred network" - I could move the hub to the preferred network, but it did warn me that my Matter devices can actually fail to move (eg. stay offline) - which I think they did.
So my already connected Matter devices kept being offline so I had to re-pair all of them - I could finally pair my Bilresa remote too.
My Thread setup includes a Dirigera, + 3 homepods + 1 Apple TV 4K. It seems like that the Thread networks split into two somehow? Sadly I didn't take a screenshot the configuration of the "Thread Credentials" screen when I had the first bad state when the iOS and HomeSmart networks differed.
What worries me though is that this "Thread configuration is skipped" message still shows up and I don't know what it means and I don't know how to fix it, and I'm worried that I will have to re-pair all my devices again.
