  • Thread is a mesh networking technology that connects your small smart devices—from motion sensors to door locks—and offers a better, more efficient way for them to work together. Thread comes built into smart devices. To use it, you’ll need a Thread border router to connect the thread network to your home Wi-Fi. Once that’s in place, any Thread-compatible device—up to 250 at a time—can connect, regardless of the manufacturer.

  • With Thread, your smart home will be, well, smarter. Your devices will work faster and more reliably across a larger area, and they’ll use less power than they would on Wi-Fi. Since Thread connects smart devices to each other, the network can also continue working, glitch-free, even if service is spotty, your internet goes down, or a device fails.
