Uh what? This is definitely not the case with my nanoleaf bulbs..
- FerdSlav 4y agoThread is an IPv6 bearing mesh network; and if you have a border router that has the appropriate IP routing rules, and your firewall allows it, your Nanoleaf bulbs can most certainly reach out to the internet (granted, they only have the concept of IPv6, so a majority of the internet is inaccessible if only because it is IPv4)
- layoric 4y agoAny ideas if the HomePod Mini (probably the most popular Thread border router) grant broader internet access to Thread devices on the mesh network? I can't find any clear info about how this might work or how to test.
