🆘HOW-TO: PAIRING MATTER DEVICES TO GOOGLE HOME

Applies to Nanoleaf Matter-Enabled Device(s) And Google Home Users

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET YOUR MATTER-ENABLED DEVICE SET UP AND READY TO SHINE

Step 1 • Power Up Your Matter Device: Plug in your Matter device, turn it on, and get it fired up—it’s time to pair.

Step 2 • Open the Google Home App

• Launch the Google Home app on your phone or tablet. The app should detect your Matter device automatically and display a pop-up notification.

• Tap Set up in the notification, then tap Next on the screen that confirms your device was found.

📸 Use your phone’s camera to scan the Matter QR code on your device.

• Tap I agree to connect the device to your Google Account.

Head to Step 3, if that was successful, if not, see below re: manual setup.

🚩If the device is not automatically detected, not to worry, there is a manual way to complete the set up.

Manually Add the Device (if not automatically detected)

If the Google Home app doesn’t detect your device:

• Tap Devices from the bottom bar. 

• Tap the + Add button at the bottom of the app and choose New Device.
• The app will look for devices to add but if it fails to find your Matter device then simply tap Matter-enabled device. Choose the home where you want to add your device.

Once successful, move onto Step 3.

Step 3 • Assign and Sync

• Once the device is added, assign it to a room, give it a fun name, and you’re all set.

Your Matter device is now part of your Google Home setup, ready for automations and voice commands.
