Hello all Im trying to figure out options to move to SHS, but I have 2 devices in my home that use Matter over Thread (Nuki doorlock for example), which is now connected to Homey 2023. Is there a way to use an existing AppleTV 4K as Thread bridge for this and move those devices to there, still then…

AFAIK Thread is not available on Homey SHS, because the Homey Bridge doesn’t support it. You can’t use external dongles with SHS.

You’ll need an external Thread Border Router, which SHS can use; like a Google hub, or certain apple devices. Some apple TV’s can act as a TBR apparently, maybe you’re lucky [image] A complete list of Thread Border Routers on the market today Although Thread doesn't need a "hub" in the …

Yes i have read all that, but doesnt say anywhere how SHS can use the AppleTV (which has TBR support in my case) for devices :grinning_face:

I use an Apple TV with my SHS. Once I worked out a few thread issues, it works well.

If you don’t mind my asking what were your thread issues?

I had thread turned on on my eroos, I cut it off and everything worked pretty well. But I live in an old house with walls made of three courses of bricks so I had to add some homepod minis and Ikea Matter over thread plugs to insure I had a good thread network. Now everything is working great
