Eero Pro 6 & Thread

Just curious if anyone has a network using all Eero Pro 6 devices, and has been able to use Thread?

in the eero app, I was able to turn on Thread networking, but I get I error when I try to add a thread device. 

Eero Support tells me that the Eero Pro 6 does not support Thread; only the “Eero Pro” units do. I find that odd, since Eero previously stated they were committed to supporting Thread, and that the eero app lets you activate Thread. 

so I wanted to check with this group before I give up on Thread. Thanks!
