  1. Scan the Matter QR code or enter the pairing code.

TIP:

  • The QR code or pairing code on the device is intended for its initial pairing.

  • If the device has already been added to another ecosystem, use the QR code or pairing code generated by that ecosystem.

  1. Select the Wi-Fi network for the Matter device. It must be the same network that G32 is connected to.

NOTE:

Check whether the Matter device supports 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or both, and configure its Wi-Fi connection accordingly.

  1. Wait for the pairing process to complete.

After the device is added, you can control it, configure its settings, and use it in scenes.

6.1.3. Matter Device Details

Tap the target Matter device card, then tap to open its settings page. You can:

  • Change basic settings, such as the device name and location.

  • Delete the device.

  • Generate a Matter pairing code that is valid for 10 minutes to share the device with another ecosystem.

  • View the connected ecosystems. A Matter device can be shared with up to 5 ecosystems.  

NOTE:

  • When initially adding a Matter device to akubela, you can remove its existing ecosystem connections if required.

  • Device status is synchronized across connected ecosystems, while names, locations, and device removal are managed independently by each ecosystem.
