LG TVs and select Google TV/Android TV OS devices will soon be able to act as Thread border routers for Google Home. This will let them act as a hub for your Matter-enabled smart home ecosystem, making it easier to add new Matter devices to your home network and control them from within the Google Home app.

Google didn’t share any details on which Google TV/Android TV OS devices will support this, but I previously discovered code in AOSP that suggests that a Thread network stack will be added in Android 15 but is being specifically backported to Android 14 as well for TV devices. So, it’s possible only some TVs running Android TV 14 will support this.
