Android 15 is introducing a Thread network stack, allowing supported phones to communicate with compatible smart home devices through Thread, a low-power mesh networking protocol. While Apple's iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max currently have Thread radios, Android devices may soon join the lineup. The Matter smart home standard, supported by Thread, aims to create interoperability among smart home devices, overcoming the limitations of proprietary apps and ecosystems. Thread offers advantages such as power efficiency and reliable communication, making it ideal for battery-powered smart home devices. With Android 15's upcoming release, smartphones with Thread support will be able to directly communicate with Thread devices, potentially enhancing smart home functionality. While the availability of Thread radios in Android devices remains uncertain, the future looks promising for seamless smart home connectivity.
