Thread & Matter support for Home Assistant.
A couple of weeks ago, we've published [an extensive blog article on where we're at](/blog/2023/02/08/state-of-matter-and-thread/)
right now. Some of the features mentioned in that blog post, will become
available today in this release.
A couple of weeks ago, we published [an extensive blog article on where we're at](/blog/2023/02/08/state-of-matter-and-thread/).
Some of the features mentioned in that blog post will become available today.
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.

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!

Two Philips Hue bridges connected using Matter, and it is fast!
</p>
Matter now has support for connecting to Matter bridges, and [@ArturoGuerra]
add support light colors!
Althought, if you want to connect your Hue hub, we of course recommend using
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!
