Where can I find Thread Network details?

jjm202 — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:01:57 GMT

Recently setup a Google Nest Hub (2nd gen). I'm trying to add a Matter-enabled device (experimental). The rendezvous process completes over BLE, but the device is never added to the Thread network. I have confirmed this device can be added to a Thread Network hosted by an R.Pi 4 + nRF radio.

How can I find details on the Thread Network provided by the Nest Hub? Is it really acting as a Border Router? Can it be added instead via CHIPTool (in that case, I'll need to find the network credentials somewhere)?

Thanks

Hi jjm202,

Thanks for reaching out. You can use some Google devices as a Thread border router to create a Thread network, or if a Thread network exists in your home, your Google device can be used to extend the existing Thread coverage to the entire home. Check out this link for more information.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Juni
