Eve Energy - 4th generation, Eve Weather - 2nd generation, Eve Door & Window - 3rd generation, Eve Aqua - 2nd generation are all available in the U.S., works with HomeKit, and support Thread.
2:05 You mentioned it’s separate from our home Wi-Fi. Does thread require Wi-Fi to work or is it it’s own technology. If so, lights can operate if my internet is down?
Great explanation. I would like to comment about "device limit" for Wi-Fi. While that's theoretically true, it's not practically true. The data going back and forth between IOT devices is so small that you just wouldn’t' stress a home Wi-Fi network with those devices.
Good explanation.. thanks for that.. What is the difference between thread and matter? And why they mentioned as matter works over wifi and thread? As u said all thread appliances are not homekit devices. But all appliances built with matter are homekit devices rite?
Thread is a component of matter. It’s a communication protocol that will be part of matter along with wifi and Bluetooth. All matter devices should work with HomeKit. That is why they are making a standard, to unify everything. But I don’t think everything is known yet with how it will all work.
Random question. Could, in theory, Thread be used to give information to smart devices? Say you have a smart floor that senses water and it tells a smart robot mop/vacuum to come and clean it up?
You're completely missing the big picture which is CHIP...:/ So the future is not purely Thread. It's CHIP-over-Thread (and CHIP-over-WiFi/Ethernet for high-bandwidth applications). you should make a video about that.
