Thread is the replacement for zigbee.

It's zigbee plus more features.

There is nothing zigbee does better than thread.

Lower power usage, ipv6, standard tls security, not proprietary, etc.

Does Thread support pairing two or more devices so they can control each other directly without going through the coordinator? I do that a bit with my Zigbee network.
