## Thread
Matter goes hand-in-hand with (but is not the same as) [Thread](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)>), which is a low power Radio mesh networking techology. Much like Zigbee, but with the key difference that it is _IP-addressable_, making it the perfect companion transport for Matter.

Much like Zigbee, but with the key difference that it is _IP-addressable_, making it the perfect companion transport for Matter.
Thread devices become directly addressable by Matter controllers (such as Home Assistant) thanks to the use of so-called Thread Border Routers, which are in fact just devices that are both within your network and have a Thread chip builtin and thus act as a "router" between the Thread radio signal and your local network. These border routers (you will probably end up having multiple of them in your house) make sure that your Thread-based devices are reachable on your regular network and thus can be controlled with Matter. Examples of Thread Borders routers are the Apple TV 4K, HomePod (gen 2 or Mini), and the Google Nest Hub V2, so devices that you may already own. Besides that, all kind of other border routers are available, built-in to hardware appliances or software solutions based on OpenThread Border Router, such as the add-on we provide to use with the built-in Zigbee/Thread chip of the [Home Assistant Yellow](/yellow/) or the [Home Assistant SkyConnect](/skyconnect/) dongle.

- To use Matter, in the SwitchBot app, enable Matter bridge support. Then, copy the code and use that to commission the Hub to Home Assistant. Another option is to use a second device to scan the QR code.
- Device support is limited. You bridge specific devices to Matter by adding them as **Secondary device** in the app. Note that not all SwitchBot devices can be bridged.

### General recommendations
- Using Thread-based Matter devices in Home Assistant requires Home Assistant OS version 10 and above. Not using Home Assistant OS is at your own risk. We do provide some [documentation](https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/python-matter-server/blob/main/README.md) on how to run the Matter Server as a Docker container. The documentation includes a description of the host and networking requirements.

- To use Thread devices you will need a Thread Network with at least one Thread Border Router in your network nearby the Thread device(s). Apple users need for example the Apple TV 4K or the HomePod Mini, while Google users need a Nest Hub V2. Use the Thread integration in Home Assistant to diagnose your Thread network(s).
