Concurrent Zigbee and Thread on a single chip

+

+ Out of the box the Home Assistant SkyConnect will support only Zigbee. We're + working on a firmware update that makes it possible to run both Zigbee and + Thread at the same time. Thread is the mesh networking protocol that powers + Matter, the new standard for smart home devices. +

+

+ Once available, Home Assistant SkyConnect will run part of the software that + normally runs inside Zigbee and Thread chips inside Home Assistant add-ons. + These add-ons will be installed and updated automatically without requiring + user interaction. +

+

+ We will make this multi-protocol set-up first available for Home Assistant + OS installations. We will be looking into making this available for Home + Assistant Supervised and Home Assistant Container installations afterwards. +

FAQs

+
+ {% details "Why start with Home Assistant OS support for multi-protocol?" %} A + standalone Zigbee or standalone Thread stick works by turning radio signals + into radio packets and then processing those radio packets and making that + available over a serial port.

+ With multi-protocol, the processing of the radio packets is moved into Linux + daemons. This means we run one daemon to split the radio packets into Zigbee + and Thread streams, one daemon to process the Zigbee radio packets and one + daemon to process the Thread radio packets.

+ To make this all work together, we need to strictly manage the version of the + firmware on the stick and the three different Linux daemons. The easiest way + for us to do this is using Home Assistant add-ons in a known host environment, + which is Home Assistant OS. {% enddetails %} {% details "Why include a USB + extension cable?" %} USB 3.0 ports (the ones with blue on the inside) + interfere with any radio at 2.4Ghz frequency. This includes Zigbee and Thread. + If you don't use the extension cable it might not work at all, or flaky at + best. {% enddetails %} +
