Thread will be launch in 2 months. It is used in home pod mini, google nest wifi and google nest hub max, amazon eero wifi, and some devices like bulbs from nanoleaf and plugs like eve. It is like zigbee or zwave with one usb stick HA will be abble to act as a router, the same as zigbee o zwave.
This one is the stick
I just one a feature for plug that stick and have a Thread border router, the same as zigbee o zwave
Probably with an addon.
No, itâs not. Matter + Thread (or other) is.
Once again, Thread is is like Wifi, just a transmission protocol. It only enables devices to talk to each other.
Assuming you have a Thread-enabled router, and a Thread adapter on your HA machine, then Thread-enabled devices will be able to talk to each other over Thread rather than Wifi. No more, no less.
That alone wonât enable you to understand the language of the other side.
There is where Matter come into play: see it as the Esperanto of IoT.
And yeah, Matter is definitely on the roadmap of HA, as itâs one of the promise of their Yellow device
Sorry for being wrong then. But I cannot understand this. If I have a usb that can provide that âthread wifiâ and can comunicate with thread devices and I can set up that with docker. Why HA wouldnât be abble to replace de docker container in an addon? I think that thread is part of matter, but it isnât matter at all.
Would you be able to play with Threads in a docker container, replicating Build a Thread network with nRF52840 boards and OpenThread? Likely, assuming you manage to have the stick programmed properly.
Does that achieve anything? No.
It just like me picking up a phone I made myself, and call a Chinese person who doesnât speak English. Hopefully, sounds will be exchanged, but as I donât talk Chinese, nothing meaningful will be achieved above the satisfaction of having sound exchanged 
Ok I understood you. I donât have the stick yet, I already ordered. It is suposed that when I have the docker ready, I enter the ip adress like when I want to enter in HA and the proper port. And I will be able in that browser window manage my devices.
Well, have fun with that experiment 
I hope so, when it arrives I will tell you what happens.

They refund me because there is no stock. If you think Im going to loose money please tell me, but thats the screenshot from Open Thread web after you deploy de docker.
Hello,
I would like to ask if a OpenTread Router can replace a HomePod/AppleTV Bridge device only for the the matter ready devices.
Thanks
