The "Configure" button +on the Thread card will reveal the all-new Thread panel. + +Screenshot of the all new Thread panel, giving insight into your Thread network(s). + +The Thread panel lets you view your Thread network(s) and provides controls +to add an OpenThread border router. More importantly, an option to download +diagnostics has been added in the three-dotted menu in the top right. This will +help with finding, triaging, and fixing issues as the development +on Thread continues. + +As for Matter, it now supports connecting to Matter bridges! So, you can +now connect, for example, your Hue hub over Matter!
