Tell Me A Story: Pokopia Edition

Ajit AnanthadevanWhen it comes to #IoT protocols there are two main options: #BLE vs #openthread.
While openthread is mainly focused in industrial applications, BLE has massive commercial appeal. Because of this BLE is a rapidly progressing tech comparatively, and superior in terms of speed and reliability.
While BLE goes to 2 Mbit/s, openthread delivers 250kbps. Considering IoT applications are #lowpower nodes, this high throughput helps quick transmissions and save power.
On the other hand, openthread boasts native #ipv6 access, only requiring a "border router".
And as it needs a openthread border router device anyway - IMO we might as well write and put a relay app in it, taking away openthread's advantage...

Qualcomm Debuts AI-Native Wi‑Fi 8 Portfolio Unifying Client and Network Connectivity for AI Era Performance | Qualcomm
Qualcomm Technologies unveils its Wi‑Fi 8 portfolio, delivering a new connectivity foundation for AI‑era performance across mobile devices, access points, and gateways. Qualcomm FastConnect 8800 is the first mobile connectivity system with a 4x4 radio configuration, enabling 10+ Gbps peak speeds and extended gigabit range. Five new Qualcomm Dragonwing Networking Infrastructure platforms expand the most comprehensive Wi‑Fi 8 portfolio, featuring on‑device AI, high‑performance processing, and integrated 5G and fiber broadband, with leading partners committed to commercial deployments.
As we just closed out #FreeAndOpenSourceSoftwareMonth in February, we’re proud to highlight Thread’s commitment to open innovation.
Thread promotes free, publicly available code through OpenThread, an open-source implementation of the Thread networking protocol, developed and released by Google and maintained on GitHub.

megalodonosaurusI love open source. 7.5 inch, red, black, and white e-ink display with an esp32-c6 running #esphome pulling down my #selfhosted #nextcloud calendars, centralised in #homeassistant over an #openThread network. Case from printables and edited to fit my specific ESP32. Template adapted from a github repo I liked the look of. No cloud. Love it.
Jeroen Postma 🇪🇺Fucking hell, trying to set up a #Matter device with #HomeAssistant is a nightmare.
> The OpenThread Border Router add-on can only be installed with Home Assistant OS. If you would like to use the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 as a Thread border router, please manually set up OpenThread Border Router to communicate with it.
🤨 I just want to connect my fucking lamp...
The Thread Group is hosting a Thread Programming project at the IETF 125 Hackathon in Shenzhen!
As part of the hackathon, the event will focus on hands-on Thread development, including work with #OpenThread and IPv6-based mesh networking. Participants will collaborate on advancing Thread implementations, tools, and more.
The project is championed by Stuart Cheshire, a key contributor to Thread.
