I don't have any thread devices but I've been eyeing them.

Do they show up to your router/networking gear as IP6 devices? I know that this is the underlying tech, and use mDNS, and thread routers are IP routers, but I always assumed they wouldn't integrate with existing IP home networks.

I see mDNS advertisements with my devices in them (such as Nanoleaf bulbs/Eve Thread devices), with a custom IPv6 prefix from the ULA, I assume assigned by my Thread border router.

The advertisements are captured by Avahi on my router... so they are on my existing IP home network.
