on Disappointed with Aqara - Zigbee hub, but no 3rd party? · c/homeassistant · 2 pts · 161d@spitfire Right. The difference is that if the thing has the thread logo on it, it passed a certification that ensured that this was the case, and that's also true for Matter devices. For Zigbee it's entirely voluntary, so caveat emptor.
