Thread Border Router - Can we use Google Nest instead of Raspberry Pi

[Matthew K]

Hi, guys. While I was testing the Raspberry Pi for the Thread Border Router,

Is it possible to use a Google Nest device to replace the Raspberry Pi?

Hi Matthew,

It could be possible if the Google Nest device that you use supports Thread, but this is not something that we have experimented with. Also, the link that you mentioned can be done only with a Raspberry Pi. I guess you could contact the Google Nest forum for this query.
