My question is, if you build a new house and thread actually requires at least some devices to be hard wired, why not use PoE?

Amazing video, 🙏 thank you! Do you know any place keeping a record of all Thread-enabled devices? It’s so hard to find this info.

You mentioned its more secure but did not say how/why. How/why is is more secure?

It took Google hub three minutes to realize that a matter/wifi device was powered back on...that seams like a long time...
Other matter/thread devices, Google hub would not reconnect after i loss power...

IPv4 was the standard for literally the entire Internet for years. It has over 4 billion unique addresses. I'm not sure what kind of smart home you run if IPv4 falls short of your individual needs, but obviously everyone should sit up straight and pay attention.
