Does anyone knows if it is possible to use a CC2652 flashed with OpenThread firmware with the new Matter integration?

Looks like in theory it might work Thread => non-HASS Thread border router => Matter => HASS but best wait for 2023.3:

Matter & Thread: where we’re at

A lot is happening in Home Assistant around Matter and Thread. It can be hard to keep track of it all, so we wanted to take a moment to write an update on the current state, and what we’re planning next. Summary: Matter works, including Thread devices via Thread border routers from Apple and Google. The Thread border router in Home Assistant is operational but not integrated until the next release, Home Assistant 2023.3. We’ve expanded the documentation for Matter and Thread to cover most as…

TBH, my experiments with Matter and a test ESP32-C3 continue to be very unreliable, and even got worse after the HASS Matter demo seminar as later releases added more interworking with Google/ Apple/ other Matter pairing steps. It’s still early for Thread support on the Yellow/ SkyConnect SilLabs radio. It’s also very early for Tasmota support for Matter so Zigbee and MQTT aren’t going anywhere for a while.
