Eve Systems has announced three new HomeKit products that work with a new technology called Thread.
Thread is a communication protocol such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The difference is that Thread uses a mesh network, so that accepted products can talk directly to each other without the need for a central hub device. If only one accessory fails, the data packets are simply transmitted to the next device in the network. In short: A network that is activated by a mini HomePod to talk HomeKit by wire, becomes more robust with each additional accessory.
Here are the accessories coming in the near future that will use HomeKit over Thread:
Eve Weather requires an iPhone or iPad with iOS / iPadOS 14. Automatic control of this HomeKit compatible accessory outside the home requires a HomePod.
