I’ve just installed the Matter insights app, but all my thread connected devices are showing you as Wifi connected devices. Is this a known bug or user error!
Funny enough, Homey, or any other Matter controller, doesn’t really need to know how a Matter device is physically connected to the network. Matter communicates over IPv6, so Homey essentially addresses the device using its IPv6 address and lets the network handle the routing.
For a Matter-over-Thread device, that could mean the packet first travels over Ethernet or Wi-Fi across the local network, reaches a Thread Border Router, and then enters the Thread mesh. If there are multiple Thread Border Routers on the same Thread network, the traffic doesn’t necessarily have to go through Homey’s own Thread Border Router. The IPv6 and Thread routing mechanisms determine the appropriate path to the device.
So Homey handles the Matter communication, while the underlying network stack takes care of how the packets actually get there.
