Thank you very much for your reply.

I'll follow your advice to learn more about Matter in the Nordic Connect SDK (NCS) Matter documentation first.

Thanks.

Hi,

The support for accessing HomeKit is determined by Apple. As far as I know, HomeKit does not currently support the OpenThread protocol alone.

However, Matter, which operates on top of OpenThread and Wi-Fi, is supported. You can explore more about Matter in the Matter documentation of the Nordic Connect SDK (NCS).

If you're specifically interested in OpenThread support for HomeKit, I recommend contacting Apple to see if they have any plans to support OpenThread directly in the future.

Best regards,
Charlie
