Thread is only a mesh network protocol. It doesn’t have a standardized command language. Same with Wi-Fi. Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter all have a standardized command language. Hence the logos in the app.

True. There’s also no Ethernet logo. I got carried away…
They should advertise it a bit more prominently though. There’s a Zigbee, Z-Wave and WiFi logo on the box. See the last image here:
Wouldn’t hurt to put the Thread logo somewhere.
nonsense, the world would be a very lame place if there were no logos… just everything written in words. gimme all the logos please.

I had a GE/Jasco outlet die on me over the weekend so I replaced it with the Eve Energy Dual-Switched outlet (Matter over Thread). Nicely packaged, it comes with a decora style screwless wall plate, mounting screws, and wire nuts. Added easily to the ST mobile app via QR code scan. It adds as two different devices which can be controlled separately. However, energy reporting is located on the primary outlet and there is not separate energy monitoring for each outlet, just cumulative for the entire physical device. Firmware updates are also managed only from the primary outlet. The primary is identified as type MATTER using profile power-energy-powerConsumption and the second outlet is type EDGE_CHILD using profile plug-binary.
Devices were added automatically to Alexa via the ST skill. However, you can also add them directly to an Echo device for multi-admin by doing “Share with other services” in the ST app.

The LEDs are also buttons to manually switch the sockets on/off, right?
