Is Thread a hardware or software update?

New to all this but learning. I see products like the mini switch and original door sensor. Both appear to work only on ZigBee protocol.

I’m wondering if these will be updated to Thread compatibility and if that’s even possible. So my question is can these ZigBee devices be updated through firmware update or not. Thanks.

@pthes59 Hello .If the sensor version is Zigbee only, it will not be updated with the Thread firmware.
Thread these will be other sensors, the P2 series currently supports Thread and you can use them.
The P2 motion and light sensor and the P2 door opening sensor support matter over thread.
