ESP32-C6 thread-based ESPHome?

ESP32-C6 has just come out in its final mass-produced version with calibrated ADC, so is there any chance that ESPHome will sometime in the near future start to support Thread on these chips?

There’s a good thread on the topic on the ESPHome Discord.

Search for “ESP32-C6” under the off-topic channel if that link is no good.

I had a skim and from what I could summise, there is little chance of official ESPHome support in the near future, but some individuals are making some good progress.

And there’s this feature request.

Thanks for the links.
Looks like the GitHub link is mainly for getting the ESP32-C6 to run with WiFi as the other ESP-chips.
I was hoping a bit on a Thread solution, but I will just see what I can mix up myself over the summer. :grinning:

Hey, did you found something that works?

Espressif provided it themself with the ZeroCode service.

It is a free service, that makes it easy to make Matter modules of some of the ESP boards.
Sort of a Matter version of ESPHome.
