   Add the device to your smart home platform

   Navigate to your primary smart home ecosystem app, such as Apple Home or Google Home. Select 'Add Accessory' or 'Add Device' and use the Matter QR code on the plug or the provided setup code. Once authenticated, assign the plug to a specific room for better voice command organization.

   Note: Naming the plug clearly, such as 'Living Room Lamp', improves voice assistant recognition accuracy.
