Why not Zigbee?
Zigbee needs a Zigbee specific hub to talk to your phone or the cloud, only granting you access to individual integrations per hub.
Thread uses a border router which is a bit like a hub, but with one key difference: it speaks the universal language of ALL Thread-enabled products.
With one compatible border router for all your Thread-enabled products, you'll no longer be burdened with multiple hubs.
