Using openwrt as openthread border router

Hey, I tried to install the following packages and theirs deps in order to make my device an openthread bridge:

  1. openthread-br
  2. luci-app-openthread

When I go to luci-app-openthread page, there's a lua error.

tried to follow the readme of the package, and still the thread tab is missing.

When I try to look at the network interface that is mentioned in the readme, luci complains that " Unsupported protocol type."

Just wanted a clarifications from other members here what is working and what isn't (at least for them), and if they know that I am missing something?

Another concern I've had was the fact that in the README of the plugin the author mentions that he tested it on "nRF52840 usb dongle", while I was using homeassistant ZBT-1.

after taking a look on homeassistant's obtr addon, I noticed that they're using the same "ot-br-posix" repo that openwrt's package is based on, and therefore I assume that it's more configuration issue rather an unsupported hardware

In most cases you have to log out and log in to luci, very rarely reboot whole router to activate new extension.

unfortunately it is not the case here
