I created a hot wallet in Sparrow that I could use as watch-only in blue wallet. I scanned the xpub in blue wallet and sent some sats to the wallet to test it out, but in Sparrow I didn't see any transactions listed. I went to check on the watch only addresses and the addresses were different from the addresses in the hot wallet.

I'm inquiring to see what I did wrong/didn't do and to see how I might be able to fix it if I can. Thanks for any help/info.

Your addresses on Sparrow start with bc1 and your addresses on bluewallet start with 1? Is my guess correct?
If so, you should import your zpub into bluewallet instead of the xpub.

Thanks for your reply. You would be correct.

Are the sats that I sent to that address now burned? It's a tiny amount but I'd like to recover them if I can. If not, so be it.

No, it’s not lost. If you still have the wallet seed then you can recover those coins.

I am not so familiar with Sparrow and BlueWallet so I can’t help you with that. But you can use Electrum.
All you have to do is to import your wallet seed into Electrum and mae sure to tick the "bip 39" checkbox. Then Electrum will ask you to choose the "type of addresses". You can choose "legacy (p2pkh)" or just click on "detect existing accounts" and it will search for all the funded wallets.

Find this "show as <zpub>" button near where you got your xpub key in the 'Settings'.
Image:


Each click will toggle the xpub to the alternate format based from the wallet's script type, and vice-versa.
Then, import the zpub instead of the xpub.

All you have to do is to import your wallet seed into Electrum and mae sure to tick the "bip 39" checkbox. Then Electrum will ask you to choose the "type of addresses". You can choose "legacy (p2pkh)" or just click on "detect existing accounts" and it will search for all the funded wallets.
This will not work.
Visit the topic I created about that, for more information.


To OP:
Download a desktop version of electrum from its official website.

Create a new wallet with selecting "Standard wallet" and then "I already have a seed".
Click on "options" and then select "BIP39 seed".
Enter your seed phrase and click on "Next".
In the next window, click on "Next" again without chaning anything.
Enter a password if you want to and click on "Finish".


Go to electrum directory. (Click here to see default paths for different operating systems.
Open your wallet file and find "xprv".)

Go to electrum console. (If you don't see the console tab, click on "View" at top of the window and check "Console".)
Enter the following the command.

Code:
convert_xkey(xkey="xxx",xtype="standard")
Note that you should replace xxx with the xprv you got from your wallet file. Press "Enter" and electrum will give you a key starting with xprv.  

Create a new wallet in electrum. This time, select "Use a master key" and then import the xprv you got from electrum console.
