Set Up Your Device via Matter
This is a Matter-certied device. You can integrate it into any Matter ecosystem you prefer for easy control. As IoT manufacturers are working to
optimize the user experience of Matter setup, the setup process and user experience should improve over time. Take Alexa, Google, and Apple
ecosystems for example and the following shows you how to set up via Matter:
• Add to Alexa via Matter
• Add to Google via Matter
• Add to Apple via Matter
• Failed to Set Up via Matter?
Note:
1. The Matter setup code can only be used to add the device to the rst ecosystem. For the second commissioning, you will need to open the app of the rst
