Meet Thread
Say Goodbye to Delays
Thread is a lightning fast, stable network technology built to elevate your smart home experience. Say goodbye to delays, dropped connections and hubs, and say hello to a smarter home.
A Mesh Network that Just Works
All of your Thread-enabled devices speak the same language to communicate and connect together to create a reliable self-reinforcing mesh network, rather than relying on a single connection source like with WiFi or Bluetooth.

Thread in Action
Why is Thread better?
Extended Range
Thread is well connected. The Thread mesh network grows with each additional Thread-enabled device, which means a stronger connection and wider coverage within your home.
More Reliable
Thread is dependable. Leave those dropped connections in 2021. Set the mood with your lights, don’t kill it with error messages.
Instant Control
Thread is fast. Instantaneous responsiveness eliminates awkward pauses that leave you hanging.
No Hub
Thread is simple. Thread border routers are built into products you already love, like Nanoleaf Lines, Shapes, Elements or Apple HomePod mini. Finally an end to endless hubs!
