Matter Compactable Google Home Hubs for Wi-Fi, BLE , Thread

Adarsh1608 — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 12:02:33 GMT

Hi,
Currently I'm working on a Matter end device, So for my research and development I want to use Google Home Hubs for connecting and testing the end device. I want the Nest Hub as OTBR (Open Thread Border Router) so it need to support Wi-Fi and thread Protocol. Did this device is capable for this and also need to know any other Google Hub which can support my requirement?

Thanks & Regards
Adarsh

Hi Adarsh1608,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you're working on a Matter end device and want to use the Google Nest Hub device for testing and connection. I'll be happy to help with the information you need!

Many of the hubs for Google Home have a Thread border router built-in to avoid the need for an additional hub device. The following hubs support Matter over both Wi-Fi and Thread:

Displays: Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max
Wi-Fi routers: Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E)
Streamers: Google TV Streamer (4K)

Additionally, please check out our helpful article for more information about Hubs for Google Home (Wi-Fi and Thread).: Prepare your smart home for Matter

Please keep me posted. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Juan
