some people have wood fired boilers that use a store of pellets to auto feed, WiFi models of those have been about for a long time.

wifi control modules to regulate stove air intake based on flue temps are a thing too.

It's kind of unclear. I have several Eve Energy devices that are Thread compatible, but the app tells me

...
As a quick explainer, Thread is a low latency and low power mesh-like network for smart devices. Unlike Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the Thread standard doesn't depend on a router or hub. Instead, the smart device itself extends the network by talking to other Thread-enabled devices, thereby boosting the signal between them.
...
Apple's HomePod mini and the latest Apple TV 4K act as Thread border routers, and by adding Thread-supported devices around the home, users can typically expect improved connectivity compared to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, a wider control range, and more remote scheduling options.

OK kind of misleading: the Thread standard doesn't depend on a router or hub... but it still depends on the existence of a border router. I have several Eve devices that are Thread compatible but none of them have an active Thread status.

I wish that at least Eve's "Extend" hub would be Thread compatible.
