Thread Group Surpasses its 1,000 Thread Certified Products Milestone

November 18, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Thread Group has reached an incredible milestone of over 1,000 Thread certified products and components available in the market.

Whether it’s a smart home device or an industrial grade sensor chip, this achievement marks a key step in our shared mission to unify ecosystems and support open standards.

From our first certified product in 2019 to today, this growth reflects the dedication and innovation of our more than 230 member companies across North and South America, Europe, South Africa, Asia, and Australia. As the foundation for secure, reliable, and scalable IoT connectivity in homes, commercial buildings, and beyond, Thread certification ensures that each product has passed rigorous testing to meet our highest standards for reliability, security, and interoperability; ensuring that devices with the "Built on Thread" badge recognize, trust, and connect to each other seamlessly, right out of the box.

A Testament to Ecosystem Strength

With support from major smart home ecosystems, including Amazon, Apple, Google, and Samsung, the breadth of certified products across diverse categories makes this achievement especially meaningful. From smart locks and lighting to thermostats and border routers, Thread gives people unprecedented choice and flexibility to build their connected homes and buildings their way.

The adoption of Matter with Thread has been transformative, enabling even greater interoperability and accelerating product development.

Commercial IoT, Unlocked

Thread certified products are also revolutionizing commercial buildings. For example, DALI+ uses Thread to bring wireless control into the DALI ecosystem, and when combined with DALI‑2, it enables hybrid systems that simplify integration in intelligent buildings. This spring, LightFair Innovation Awards honored this effort by recognizing DALI+ as one of “the most groundbreaking developments in the lighting and controls industry,” in recent years.

The Thread 1.4 specification unlocked powerful new capabilities, including credential sharing, enhanced internet connectivity, and secure commissioning at scale. As a result, products with Thread 1.4 create intelligent, sustainable, and service-oriented environments.

Thread Certification is Earned Confidence

Looking Forward

With a robust pipeline of innovation teed up for 2026, Thread will continue to be the mesh network of choice for battery-operated and smaller IoT devices that have power constraints in connected environments.

Thank you to every member company, developer, and partner who has contributed to this achievement. Together, we're building the foundation for the next generation of IoT innovation.

Onward and upwards,
