Just bought a pair from Amazon, and I'm struggling to get them connected to my Matter controller (Apple Homekit via AppleTV 4K).

- Tried adding the device directly: it's listed as an available device, enter the code, long pause before I get a failure message along the lines of "Failed to connect".

- Downloaded Tapo app, which discovered the device, wanted to add it to my WiFi network (!), updated the firmware and rebooted. All good in Tapo.

- Went back to HomeKit app - added the device again, same result - a long pause before it "Failed to connect".

- There is a Matter smart plug about 1m from the bulb, which shows on the Homekit network so it's not a Threads reachability issue.

 

Any suggestions before I use Amazon's excellent returns policy?

Check the suggestions here, see if that helps. Why did the set up for my Matter-certified device fail?
