When looking at the new Homey Bridge, I do not see any stats on Thread as part of its capability. Does that mean as a satellite once Thread is enabled on Pro will not be extended by the Homey Bridge satellite or will that be a feature that is enabled in the future? ---

> [@Grant\_Lutz](#): > > new Homey Bridge, I do not see any stats on Thread as part of its capability. the only Homey Bridge I know is introduced ~ 2 yrs ago, that has a older Zigbee Chip that afaik is not capable of Thread. So, probably not until there is a new Homey Bridge… But What’s the advantage for you to have that in the Homey Bridge configured as Satellite? You probably have more with a Thread router like a Socket or always powered switch… Do you already have a lot Thread devices? ---

I do not have a lot of Thread devices, but I am trying to understand limitations as I do plan out the future of my smart home. Right now because I have so few thread devices I have gaps in the network that makes some not very reliable, if I could use a satellite to improve this then I could place one in a good location to improve the network. Based on what I can see, this is a new version of the homey bridge. [Homey Bridge](https://homey.app/en-us/homey-bridge/) ---

It’s the original Homey Bridge.There is currently only one model. Homey bridge does not support any local WiFi connectivity for devices. It does not support Thread.
