We’re excited to announce the beta availability of Thread Tools. Now, smart home OEMs, integrators, and advanced end users have a reliable tool to capture and share real-time, real-world diagnostic data from deployed networks.
Taking the reliability and performance of devices under test in laboratory environments and replicating them in real-world residential settings has long been a barrier to quickly addressing network issues. Because every user experience depends on strong, stable connections, network reliability is essential. Soon to be available in open-source, Thread Tools provides users with real-world visibility into their network’s performance, with insight into performance metrics, to keep smart home devices running smoothly. That means users no longer have to guess how to best operate deployed Thread networks.
