If you have not set up OTBR yet, refer to these guides for installation on Docker, Ubuntu, or Raspberry Pi:
Nearby Thread Networks
The app detects nearby Thread networks by discovering Thread Border Agents on the local network using mDNS/UDP. These Border Agents advertise their associated Thread networks through service discovery.
📌 Privacy note: Detection happens only within the local network (LAN). No data is sent outside your LAN.
