Before You Start

Since Alexa's setup is temporarily limited, make sure Alexa is the first matter ecosystem when adding your matter-certified devices to Alexa. If you are unsure, please factory reset your device before setup.

1. Check compatibility (Click here for more information)

• Alexa app version: 2.2.491118.0 or later
• Matter-supported Echo devices:

Note: Please update the software of your Echo devices to a compatible version, such as v8289070468.

2. How to set up your matter device

a. Restore your device to factory default settings.

Note: Please refer to the manual of your product for detailed instructions. Take Tapo P125M as an example. You can press and hold the Power button for 10s to factory default your device.

b. Launch the Alexa app and go to the Devices page.

c. Tap + and then tap Add Device to add a new device.

d. Choose Other, tap Matter, and then tap Next on the following pages.

e. Tap Yes on the confirming page.

• Alexa will create the name according to the device type. Take Tapo P125M for an example. The first Tapo P125M paired with Alexa will be automatically named “First Plug”.
