Man there are way too many IoT standards. What's the difference between these two? How do they each compare to Matter?

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 26 points 6 days ago

Thread is a network layer thing, comparable to WiFi or Bluetooth. Matter is an application later thing, comparable to HomeKit or Google home.

Zigbee is both network and application layer.
