You can flash the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle-E to turn into a Thread antenna using OpenThread RCP. So you can run Matter over Thread. This dongle cost less than $30 on AliExpress.

I’ve connected my Nuki smart lock via this dongle. Though I’m preferring to use the MQTT over Thread implementation for this lock. Since it broadcasts more information over MQTT than with the Matter integration.
