RE: How to test Thread while using Ubuntu docker as OTBR

Hi OPQ

To check that the thread network connects as it should, the nRF Thread topology monitor is useful. This can be run on an external computer (Not the OTBR), and connect to the Thread network as a new node.

[quote user=""]The 52840DK hulb node works when press button2 led2 will toggle.[/quote]

This will happen as long as the nRF52840DK is programmed properly, and does not require the DK to be connected to a Matter network.

To find if you can toggle the led from another device, you could follow the next step of the tutorial:

"Testing with the Python Matter Controller - see Working with Python Controller in the Matter documentation"

You should be able to control the LED on the nRF52840DK Matter light bulb from the Python Controller.

If you want your thread network to be connected to the internet, you can check if it can ping Google. This will try to ping the ipv6-equivalent of 8.8.8.8:

sudo ot-ctl ping 64:ff9b::0808:0808

If you have other questions, let me know,
