Platform connection paths
No model-specific platform route is established in the supplied evidence. A controller role or radio alone does not prove accessory compatibility.
Every listed route remains conditional until the model, region, controller, network and feature requirements are checked in your home. No physical pair test was performed.
What to verify before setup or purchase
The exact retail SKU, hardware revision, current firmware, current stock and every advanced platform feature were not established by this research. Missing values do not mean “no.”
Use the device label, manufacturer app and current official support article to confirm your US variant and firmware. For switches, locks and thermostats, also verify the physical installation requirements before buying.
