Interesting, I think the focus wasn't specifically on smart home, but rather audio processing.
The S3 does have a dual-core unlike the C6, is fairly common in new projects and is on the latest audio development boards from Espressif, so seems like a great candidate for these reasons.
While ESP-ADF looks like it supports the C6, I'm not sure at first glance if https://github.com/espressif/esp-skainet does.
If there is interest from the SW development side on someone building up a fully featured smart home device that makes use of thread, then this should be a fairly easy swap out from the PCB side.
Even if not fully featured, I think it would still be helpful to allow for building a thread mesh since Google Home devices are typically spread out around home.
You considered making CC2674/CC2674P/CC2674R and/or CC1354/CC1354P Zigbee adapters for devs & early-adopters?
Check out this discussion -> Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware#476
There is no community firmware from Koenkk yet but that is probably partially because no one made a CC2674 or CC1354 adapter yet.

I've been working with this team on my Zigbee network. It would be interesting if you could add the ability of each Google Home to also be a Zigbee Repeater or Router. Eventually I would imagine it should be thread/matter able with Home Assistant and the right hardware.
Feel free to make changes with the CAD files I shared, I won't be able to
I don't knownenought to really handle it. But I can say trying to combine Wi-Fi and matter/thread/zigbee would cause issues due to the fact that thrybrun on the same wireless frequently 2.4ghz
Hi Justin, super-interesting project!! I'm a complete noob w.r.t. hardware development, so forgive me if my question is plain stupid 😉 Would it be possible to replace the ESP32-S3 with a ESP32-C6? The reason being that the C6 supports Thread, so this would enable Matter over Thread use cases 😃
