This is to do with the new home automation networking protoctol named Thread. Apple supports this with HomeKit, so it's there as an access point into the Thread network.


Apple's first product to support Thread is the HomePod mini (however these won't appear here.)


The specification calls for using the domain <anything>.thread.home.arpa for a Thread network.
