Will it also supprt THREAD ?

@monsterdykaren

Yep, it will!

The C-8 hub contains only one 802.15.4 compatible radio. This is the radio used for Zigbee currently.

The radio Hubitat selected is capable of running Zigbee OR Thread...and there is even a chance that they could run both protocols on the one radio at the same time... However, many are skeptical as to whether or not trying to run a single 802.15.4 radio with both Zigbee and Thread at the same time will be reliable, robust, or performant. We'll have to wait and see.

Thus, right now, I am not sure what Hubitat has planned for Thread support on the C-8. Matter is based on IPv6, and thus they can easily implement Matter support via the existing LAN connection.

Yep, my bad… I see now reading through Hubitats release post that it’s said to be Thread capble. Not that it’ll automaticly get thread.
