Add a Matter device to Alexa

Add a Matter device to Alexa. Check your device generation, platform requirements, network and firmware before you start.

Before you begin

  • Compatible Echo/eero controller
  • TBR for Thread
  • Supported Alexa device category

Confirm the latest app screens with the manufacturer. Menu labels can change. Do not enter a Matter QR or setup code on this site.

Pairing steps

  1. Check the exact generation in the official inventory.
  2. Open the current Alexa Matter onboarding flow.
  3. Use a current sharing code when another platform already owns the device.
  4. Complete discovery on the same reachable local network.
  5. Test app control and voice commands separately.

Confirm it worked

  • Device appears in intended Alexa home
  • Permitted basic command works

Test the particular function you need. A device appearing in the app does not prove that advanced features, automations or remote control are available.

If pairing fails

  • A voice unlock policy is distinct from hardware lock compatibility.
