Google continues to integrate Thread technology into the very fabric of its ecosystem to increase smart home connectivity. Recent publications and revelations indicate that tech giants are betting big on Thread and Matter as the foundation for the future of the connected home.
The latest Pixel 9 series and Google TV Streamer have Thread radios built in, which could act as a central hub for controlling smart devices. But Google's ambitions don't stop there: the sleuths at Android Authority discovered some crucial clues in the recent Google Play Services beta (v24.38) that hint at deeper Thread integration in the future. Strings mentioning “Thread Networks” and “Thread Networks Control Center” have been spotted in the beta code, indicating Google’s intention to turn Play Services into a Thread network management hub.

Whatever the first loyalty, a harmonious intelligent house where the device works well.
It is clear that Google continues to defend these technologies, which represents the future of the basics of an effective and practical intelligent house where threads and problems are more consistent.
