Unable to Pair Matter Devices to HomeKit Solved

I tried to update on previous post regarding issues with connecting matter device to HomeKit.

as many other are experiencing, either failed to connect or unable to pair device notifications when adding matter accessories.


Today i solved my issue with all my matter devices. I had been unable to restablish connection to many devices previously connected and i stumbled upon it reading the use manual for me Zemismart Light Strip Driver.


the manual offered two methods to reset. One was to push the reset button for 5-10 seconds which should result in the driver flashing… which it never did.. OR power cycling 10 times after which it should flash.


Well, the power cycle worked and the device repaired. Then tried this with my Eve Matter devices, and after exactly 10 power cycles they all paired and everything is back to normal.


With any device that was battery powered, ie sensors etc, using my finger nails, pushed down on the top of the battery towards the negative spring 10 times and went through the process of adding accessory and all of then reconnected.
