Setup Guide
Before You Begin
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz and supports IPv6. 5GHz Wi-Fi is not supported.
- A Matter-certified hub or controller (e.g., HomePod, Echo Dot, Nest, SmartThings Hub) is required for control via Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, or SmartThings platforms.
- Alternatively, the AiDot app can be used without a separate hub.
- Update both your smart home apps and hubs to their latest versions for enhanced compatibility.
Initial Setup Steps
- Launch App: Open your preferred smart home app (Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, or AiDot).
- Enable Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and you are connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Pair with Smart Speaker/Hub (if applicable): Follow the app's instructions to pair the smart plug with your Matter-compatible smart speaker or hub.
- Power On: Plug the Linkind Matter Smart Plug into a wall outlet.
- Scan Matter Code: Use your app to scan the Matter QR code located on the product or its packaging. Alternatively, you may hold your iPhone near the accessory if it supports NFC pairing.
- Success: Once the device is recognized and added, you can begin controlling it.
