Feature Request

## Feature request type  Add support for the Thread protocol to the ConBee / RaspBee devices ## Description  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 ## Additional context  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.
