Homey klar med beta software med Matter-over-Thread support
Smart Home styringsenheden Homey kan nu også tale direkte med Matter enheder. Homey melder at de har aktiveret Matter-over-Thread på Homey Pro, så man ikke længere behøver en anden Thread Border Router.
Dermed kan Homey Pro fungere med Matter enheder fra f.eks. Eve, Nanoleaf med flere.
Konkret er der tale om en beta software som du kan hente ved at aktivere Experimental updates under https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/settings
Thread-pairing kan startes ved hjælp af Homey Mobile App til iOS eller Android eller Homey Web App.
“The Thread radio was already incorporated into Homey Pro (Early 2023),” explained Emile Nijssen, Creative Director of Athom. “We’ve worked hard the past few months to enable this technology and add it to the already impressive mix of smart home technologies Homey Pro is capable of connecting with directly.” In addition to Thread, Homey Pro can communicate with smart home devices over Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter-over-Wi-Fi, local LAN APIs, Cloud-based APIs, 433MHz RF, BLE and Infrared. Homey Pro also supports direct air conditioning control over Infrared now, along with entertainment control. Together, these form an unparalleled array of smart home communication technologies for the smart home hub.
