Question about the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 (self.homeassistant)

Hello everybody,

Im currently planning on migrating my smart home to Home Assistant and run the HA docker image on my home server.

Most of my devices communicate via Zigbee so I was thinking of getting the Connect ZBT-1.
I also have a few Matter/Thread devices which would be nice to integrate as well, although not necessarily in the initial migration.

I read the ZBT-1 can experimentally be used with Thread as well. Now my question is: Is it possible to buy two devices and connect to Zigbee and Thread devices simultaneously?

Maybe someone has a similar setup and would like to share their experience.

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!

Thanks for the link, I think it indeed looks best to use a second one then (I think I'll do some more research though). But it's interesting to see (in case of the Yellow) you could theoretically use one device for both if they operate on the same channel.
