@glennf@zeppelin.flights @sixcolors@zeppelin.flights the best I can say about Thread is it doesn't suck quite as badly as Zigbee. I far prefer WiFi-based solutions like my Tasmota-flashed UP211 power switches to these half-baked wireless protocols that literally don't have a range beyon 5m/15ft in my house without a repeater (solid 1930s British brick construction). I also had to buy a Raytac MDBT50Q-RXdongle that can be flashed with Nordic Semiconductor's thread firmware with the Wireshark packet sniffer software to debug what is going on, the provisions for debugging what goes on in these alleged mesh networks is abysmal, and it's absurd to expect normal folks to put up with this nonsense. AppleTV's thread support is locked down in typical Apple fashion, there are no controls to make it reliably play nice with an existing Thread network.
