Hello Raymond! The HomePod mini is a Thread Border Router - always. Same applies to the new Apple TV 4K. In a Thread network the new Eve Energy (EU) can act as a Router in Thread (besides Bluetooth), Eve Energy Strip (EU) uses Wi-Fi and not Bluetooth so there is no need for Thread support. Battery powered Thread enabled accessories act as an Endpoint. Best regards, Volker
