that it doesn\u2019t plan to replace its existing Zigbee-powered bulbs with Thread bulbs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cIn the longer term, I think products will undergo a natural evolution to [Thread],\u201d says Siddha. But he hopes every company will look at bringing Thread into their existing devices, \u201cBecause it just gets us to this IP backbone [for the smart home] quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n
How will Thread and Matter work with Apple HomeKit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cHomeKit will be this application that works on the Apple ecosystem. But uses Matter underneath,\u201d says Siddha. \u201cSo, you will have HomeKit on our products, supporting Matter and Thread accessories. Then we have our own kind of user experience for HomeKit, just as Google will have their own. We expect the innovation to happen at that higher layer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

Apple\u2019s HomeKit will use the new Matter standard, and its HomePod Mini and Apple TV 4K (2nd gen) both work as Thread border routers.<\/em><\/figcaption>Photo by Dan Seifert \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
How will Matter and Thread ultimately benefit the smart home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cFor years, companies in the consumer smart home were trying to differentiate based on the connectivity they have [which platforms the device worked with],\u201d says Hui. \u201cThat\u2019s not what consumers care about. They care about the cool, fun features. Standardizing all these connectivity technologies gets the hard stuff around reliability and power out of the way. It lets the product companies focus on the new and exciting features consumers really care about.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThread … allows seamless access to the home network, essentially making home automation complete.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n\u201cThe smart home today is like the early days of the internet,\u201d says Siddha. \u201cThere are legacy technologies that weren\u2019t coming together to make everything just work. Instead, there are all these multiple bridges and other devices you need. Thread, with its all IP-backbone, allows seamless access to the home network, essentially making home automation complete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Thread and Matter are a reset for the smart home. They are an attempt to rebuild a broken system and make it capable of fulfilling its initial promise; the intelligent technological evolution of our homes. Now they just have to actually arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
