Can non Matter thread end devices join a Matter network through a bridge

Question

Everything is in the title. I have some Thread end devices with to small memory to include Matter application layer. So I was wondering if it's possible to add this Matter application layer on a bridge or Open Thread Border Router side as it is possible for ZigBee.

Answer 1

• Yes non Matter thread end devices can join a Matter network through a bridge.
• A Bridge serves to allow the use of non-Matter IoT devices (e.g. devices on a Zigbee or Z-Wave network, or any other non-Matter connectivity technology) in a Matter Fabric, with the goal to enable the consumer to keep using these non-Matter devices together with their Matter devices.
• You can refer to the following matter spec document to get an idea of how to implement.
