1. Power on the GLEDOPTO Matter RGBCCT LED Controller.
2. Open your preferred Matter-compatible smart home app (e.g., Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa app).
3. Initiate the "Add Accessory" or "Add Device" process within the app.
4. Scan the Matter QR code located on the controller. The QR code is also provided here for convenience: MT:8IXS140.03BGSD45W00.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts in your app to complete the pairing process. The controller will connect to your Matter hub via Wi-Fi.
6. If pairing fails, try resetting the controller by pressing and holding the "Reset" button for 5 seconds until the indicator light flashes.
