Hello,
I have a short question. Will the raspbee2 and conbee2 support the new Thread Standard?
Thank you
I’ve remembered some discussion on github about this

Since the launch of the Apple HomePod Mini supporting Thread, consumer products have now become available from both [Nanoleaf](https://nanoleaf.me/en-EU/integration-hub/thread/) as well as [Eve](https://www.evehome.com/en/blog/homekit-over-thread), with more devices on the way.
Currently, only the HomePod Mini is the only consumer border router available.
If the ConBee supported Thread, it could be used in combination with the [OpenThread border router](https://hub.docker.com/r/openthread/otbr) docker container, the setup of which is briefly described [here](https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/connected-home-over-ip-sneak-peek-of-early-development-on-nrf52840#mcetoc_1eo2h5j243) in an article about CHIP, which makes use of Thread.
This in turn would hopefully make it possible to be used in HomeAssistant and other similar applications for example.
## Considered alternatives
<!--

- Wait for another manufacturer to create a device which does support this
- - Purchase a [Nordic nRF52840](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Kits/nRF52840-Dongle) development kit instead

It's my understanding from [this ](https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/2057#issuecomment-716873042) post that the ConBee could be updated to support Thread.
Thank you for your feedback. This means with the new version 2 could be Thread possible right?

I am not sure what you mean with “the new version 2”.
Sorry, I mean RaspBee 2 and ConBee 2.
Our developers observe this new topic with interest and check the possibilities of integration for the ConBee II and RaspBee II // deCONZ

Hi Gautama,
Oh okay, thank you. That’s a great support. I‘m looking forward to this.
I currently have a Raspbee 1 and was thinking if the Zugrestaurant would be worth it, because my current system is running perfekt. But with thread support I would definitely upgrade.

In the end, the thread does what the deconz has been doing for a long time, namely, to bring all the products together in one network.
I think in a few years zigbee will be forgotten!
Many manufacturers claim that they will not abandon zigbee for their products but I think the market will force them quickly.
From a marketing point of view, I urge deconz to quickly build the project and start selling a borderline router type raspberry + conbee because in the future it will be full of border routers.
Information on the status of Thread integration is now available here:
