01Placement
Start in an open, central spot.
Place Air Hub on a shelf with power nearby and a dependable Wi-Fi connection. Avoid hiding it behind a TV or inside a metal cabinet.

Connected by design
The quiet infrastructurebehind every response.
The Hub does one foundational job: it gives compatible Thread devices a dependable route onto the home network while Matter keeps control and permission decisions where they belong.
01A home for the network path
Infrastructure that does not ask for attention.
A compact footprint lets the Hub sit close to where the home network already lives. Its Wi-Fi 6 uplink carries the Thread border-router path back to Air Sensei Home without turning network hardware into the room's focal point.

02Small device, defined role
A connection point—not another controller.
The enclosure keeps the physical connection simple. On the network, the role stays just as clear: route encrypted IPv6 traffic between Thread and the home network while Matter controllers manage devices, fabrics, and permissions.
Routes traffic · does not translate device controls
Roles, compared clearly
A route is not a controller.
Thread explains how local IP traffic travels. Matter explains who may control a compatible device and which capabilities it exposes.
| Role | Air Hub | Matter controller or app |
|---|---|---|
| Network job | Routes IPv6 traffic between a Thread mesh and the home IP network. | Commissions compatible Matter devices and sends authorized commands. |
| Device ownership | Provides a route. It does not own a device or translate its controls. | Maintains its own Matter fabric, permissions, and relationship with the device. |
| Expansion | Another Hub with the same Thread credentials can add another route. | Matter multi-admin can let a supported device join more than one fabric. |
| Compatibility | Thread transport alone does not guarantee that a feature is supported. | Available controls depend on device firmware, certification, and platform support. |
Compatibility is verified platform by platform. Thread connectivity alone is not a claim of Matter certification or complete feature support.
Set up once, designed to expand
A clear path from Thread to Air Sensei Home.
The Hub is the network path, not the owner of a device. Matter commissioning determines which controllers can operate each compatible product.

Connect the Hub to Wi-Fi.
Air Sensei Home guides Wi-Fi 6 setup and creates or joins the Thread network used by your compatible devices.

Commission compatible devices.
Add compatible Matter-over-Thread products to the Air Sensei fabric, or share devices that were already set up in another supported Matter ecosystem.

Designed for another route later.
The planned multi-hub experience is intended to use the same Thread network credentials so another Hub can add a border-router path—not a separate island—for compatible devices.
Questions, answered
A few thingsto know.
The practical details behind Thread routing, Matter control, compatibility, and adding another Hub.
Air Hub · Everyday use
A better place for your Hub.
A little planning makes setup easier, whether this is your first Thread device or part of an existing home.
02Setup
Keep your network details handy.
Have your Wi-Fi name, password, and device setup codes ready. Give rooms recognizable names so sensors and vents are easy to find later.
03Adding a Hub
Check the network before you expand.
Adding another border router does not automatically join two Thread networks. Confirm shared network credentials and platform support before planning a multi-hub setup.
