+The most visual change is that the [Thread integration](/integration/thread)
+will now show up on your devices & services dashboard. The "Configure" button
+on the Thread card will reveal the all-new Thread panel.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" src='/images/blog/2023-03/thread-panel.png' alt='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!

+the dedicated [Hue integration](/integrations/hue), which will provide a much
+more stable and feature rich solution. Nevertheless, having bridge support is
+a huge milestone!
+
+Adding a Matter device is now also more logical. Just add a new device
+from the Devices & Services page, just like how you would add any other device
+or integration to Home Assistant. Oh! Let's not forget about [@ArturoGuerra],
+who added support for color lights to Matter! Thanks!
