Run OpenThread Border Router in docker container
Thread 设备
Thread 设备向 Thread 边界路由器注册自己的服务，接着 Thread 边界路由器通过多播 DNS 向 Wi-Fi 网络广播所有 Thread 设备的服务信息。
Thread 边界路由器还实现了 DNS-SD 发现代理 (Discovery Proxy)，这样 Thread 设备也可以发现 Wi-Fi 网络中的服务。

Manually configure all the skyconnect dongle settings, create a mesh network, enable the REST protocol, and import the credentials dataset. You’ll also need to make sure your IPv6 setup and mDNS are working correctly.
Add Open Thread Border Router Integration on hass
put the URL that points to that docker container’s port in that text field.
use http://localhost:8081 by default to connect to the otbr container.
Create thread network via Thread integration
Thread integration
used to create thread network, border router must be assigned to the homeassistant thread network
This will automatically create a new Thread network with the name ha-thread-xxxx.
screenshot for thread network:
ha-thread-xxxx,The last for digits are a network-specific identifier (PAN ID).
