Openthread

Openthread is an open source implementation of the Thread IOT networking specification.

This implementation provides an openthread border router server and a small webui to monitor it. It can be used to setup a thread network on your server if it is equiped with a Thread radio device.

Popular thread radio device include Home assistant's connect ZBT-2 and SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus among many other such devices.

Once your thread network is established, you can use the Matter IOT standard to control various home automation devices adhering to the standard.
