Set Up Your Smart Device via Matter
This is a Matter-certied device. You can integrate it into any Matter ecosystem you prefer for easy control, such as Alexa, Google, and Apple ecosyms.
As IoT manufacturers are working to optimize the user experience of Matter setup, the setup process and user experience should improve over time.
Follow the instructions below to set up your smart device via the Matter app.
Before You Start
•
Get a Matter Controller: This is needed to connect and manage Matter devices on your home network. For instance, Apple TV and HomePod are
examples of Matter controllers.
For details, please refer to the Part 3. General Questions for TP-Link Matter-enabled Devices at https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/3520/.

- For most devices: Press and hold the 'Reset' button for 10 seconds.
- For smart bulbs: Turn the light switch o and on ve times, with a 2-second pause between each action.
• Connect to Wi-Fi: Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Matter controller. Choose the 2.4 GHz network if 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
networks are separate.
• Access Matter Setup Mode: This mode turns o in15 minutes after the device is powered up. To return to setup, simply turn your device o and
then back on.
• Locate Matter Setup Code: Look for a QR code or a numeric code on your device or in its packaging. Snap a picture of it for future reference.
