Note before you begin: If you already have Decora Smart devices added to Apple Home via HomeKit, updating to Matter will remove your Decora Smart Wi-Fi device’s current connection to Apple HomeKit. After the update is complete, your device will need to be re-added to the Apple Home app using the Matter pairing code. Controlling Matter accessories with the Apple Home App and Siri requires an Apple Home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV running the latest software. Click here to learn more.
