“To use this product with Alexa, what is a “Thread Border Router?””

1-1 of 1 Answer

• A Thread Border Router is a hub that connects Thread-based devices like Sense+ to your home network so Alexa can control them. Thread is a low-power mesh network, and the border router acts as the bridge between that mesh and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Examples include select Amazon Echo devices with Thread support such as Echo 4th Gen, Echo Plus, and some Echo Shows. Without a Thread Border Router, Alexa cannot control Sense+ over Thread. In short, the Thread Border Router acts as the “translator” between your smart home controller (Alexa) and the Sense+ device on a Thread mesh so that voice control and automations work reliably.
