does apple tv 4k 64gb have tread border
Bought myself a new Apple TV 4K 64gb for adding my door lock to home wizard. Accessory can’t find thread connection
Question marked as
- Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) 128GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet [A2843] and Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) 32/64GB [A2169] can be Thread border routers. That excludes Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) 64GB Wi-Fi [A2737], as well as all earlier models [A1842 and earlier].
- The Thread compatibility on compatible Apple TV extends to HomeKit and Matter compatible accessories. Threat accessories that are not HomeKit or Matter compatible, will likely not work. These are distinct properties.

You may consider if you are still within the return policy period of the store where you bought it, then get a different model that has the wanted compatibility. Or add a third party (stand-alone) border router to your setup, that bridges between the Thread network and your home network (Wi-Fi and/or ethernet).
