FAQ for Matter Certified Smart Plugs

1. Q: What can I do if failed to add the smart plug?

A: • Please confirm your phone is connected to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and the hub (speakers or displays or TV, etc) is also connected to the same router, and ensure that IPv6 is enabled on the router setting.

• Check whether the indicator light on the plug blinks rapidly during pairing mode, if not, please follow the reset instructions to initialize pairing mode. Please make sure the smart plug and phone are nearby during pairing and covered with a good Wi-Fi signal.

• Make sure the firmware of your Matter hub(speakers or displays or TV, etc) and its related
smart home App is updated to date.

• Please check whether you are adding the smart plug to the first ecosystem or not. The original Matter code can only be used for setup in the first app (you can reuse it after a factory reset).
If you want to set up the plugs to multiple apps, generate a new code from the first app for all
subsequent ones. And please do not close the pairing code-generating page in the multi-admin
setup. Otherwise, this may exit the sharing mode.

• Please confirm that you downloaded the correct app.

• If the above steps did not help solve your problem, it’s recommended that you try to reset the Matter-enabled smart plug to configure it again.

2. Q: What can I do if I fail to set up the connected Matter device with another smart home system?

A: Please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
① Don’t create pairing codes in Apps of multiple smart home systems. If the firstly created pairing code is not used or has not expired, the subsequently created codes are invalid.

② Make sure to complete the setup process before the matter code expires:
In Google Home, the code will expire 3 minutes after generated.
In Apple Home, the code will expire 5 minutes after generated.
In Alexa, the code will expire 15 minutes after generated.
In SmartThings, the code will expire 15 minutes after generated.

③ Please do not close the pairing code page in the first App when you enter the numeric code (or scan the QR code) in another app.

④ Please watch the video about how to set up the connected Matter device with another smart home system:

Note: Before you set up your connected Matter device with another smart home system, please upgrade the firmware of the hub to the latest version.
