# docker restart addon_core_openthread_border_router

In a never ending journey of building a smart home that has a high Wife Approval Factor you have to take some risks! One of them was fixing a power outlet on my own and the second one – an Ikea light bulb with Matter over Thread support. The last update was about not that fancy nor usable motion sensors.
