Matter thermostats and radiator valves for Alexa

If a Tado X device is going into Alexa, set it up in the Tado app first and share it from there. Tado's Alexa help says Amazon's Thread border routers do not support NAT64, so devices added only in the Alexa app miss Tado firmware and security updates. Once a thermostat is paired, Alexa gets what Amazon requires of a Matter thermostat, setting a temperature and reporting the current one, while schedules and hot water usually stay with the heating maker. Radiator valves and Tado X thermostats use Thread, so they need a border router, either an Echo or eero from Amazon's list or Tado's own Bridge X. The Nest thermostats, Aqara W200 and Mill panel heater connect over Wi-Fi.
