It would be very nice to have a simple UI way to retrieve the thread credentials for the Amazon Thread network. The process is described here: https://github.com/project-chip/matter.js/blob/main/docs/USAGE_THREAD.md#using-amazon-branded-hubs

But as the matter.js implementation is abstracted by this adapter a simple way to retrieve the credentials would be great.

For this to work a separate OTBR would be required. Or maybe there is a way to retrieve the credentials if there is a node present which is connected via the Amazon Thread network and then connected to ioBroker adapter via "multi admin" as second controller.

With the fact that Amazon requires that their thread network is returned by the Scan command including some details that are not eaiely discoverable and only can be seen by an own otbr and tool usage there is currently no other way.

We might be able to offer one later for Apple or Google when the ioBroker host BLE is available and unused but right now no way for Amazon.

In some time (1-2 years?) we might have thread 1.4 rolled out and "credential sharing" is working - then there might be options. But as of today: nope.
