Matter talks Thread.
Matter devices truly shine when they talk via Thread. This groundbreaking network technology makes your smart home more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – all Eve devices embrace Thread.
This is why you need a hub that - besides Matter ( xxx Matter Controller) – also supports Thread ( yyy Thread Border Router). Whether it be Apple Home, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa or Google Home, each platform offers a selection of hubs combining these two functionalities in one device.
