The Smart Bridge (sold separately) enables your Zigbee device to become
Matter-compatible, allowing seamless integration with major Matter eco-
systems like Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung Smart-
Things, and Home Assistant. By setting up your Zigbee sensor with the
Smart Bridge, it transforms into a Matter compatible door sensor, en-
abling local control through Matter. Third Reality also offers the 3R-In-
staller APP, which lets you configure Zigbee sensor attributes such as de-
fault-on behavior and perform firmware updates.
Ensure your bridge is already set up within your smart home
system.
Press to open part A (Fig. 2), install the batteries and close the back
cover, the LED indicator flashes rapidly in blue, the sensor is now
ready for setup. If this sequence doesn’t occur, long press the reset
button (Fig. 3) for 3 seconds to factory reset the sensor and put it
into pairing mode again.
Press the pinhole button on the bridge to activate Zigbee pairing
mode. The Zigbee blue LED should start blinking.
The sensor will pair with the bridge, and a new device will appear
in your smart home app, such as Google Home or Alexa.
Optionally, you can install the 3R-Installer APP and set the open
delay time by smart bridge. Then, use the multi-admin feature in
your smart home app to share permissions with the 3R-Installer
APP.

The Third Reality Hub (sold separately) allows you to control your device
remotely via the Third Reality APP, making it a great option for smart
home beginners or those without a system from major providers. Addi-
tionally, the Third Reality Cloud supports SKILL integration with Google
Home or Amazon Alexa, enabling you to connect your device to these
platforms. However, due to the potential for slow and unreliable
Cloud-to-Cloud connections, we recommend using the Bridge solution if
Google Home or Alexa is your primary smart home platform.
Ensure your hub is properly set up with Third Reality App.
Press to open part A (Fig. 2), install the batteries and close the back
cover, the LED indicator flashes rapidly in blue, the sensor is now
ready for setup. If this sequence doesn’t occur, long press the reset
button (Fig. 3) for 3 seconds to factory reset the sensor and put it
into pairing mode again.
Open the Third Reality APP, press the “+” icon next to the hub, and
select “Quick Pair.”
The sensor will pair with your hub and appear in the Third Reality
APP.
Optionally, you can enable the Third Reality SKILL in either the
Alexa or Google Home app to enable Cloud-to-Cloud
communication.

Third Reality supports integration with various open Zigbee platforms,
including Amazon Echo with built-in Zigbee, Samsung SmartThings,
Home Assistant (with ZHA or Z2M), Homey and Hubitat. If you own any of
these devices, you can pair the door sensor directly without the need for
an additional bridge or hub.
Ensure your Zigbee Hub is already set up within your smart home
system.

cover, the LED indicator flashes rapidly in blue, the sensor is now
ready for setup. If this sequence doesn’t occur, long press the reset
button (Fig. 3) for 3 seconds to factory reset the sensor and put it
into pairing mode again.
Open your smart home app and follow the on-screen instructions
to begin the Zigbee pairing process.
The door sensor will flash and then turn red, indicating it has
successfully paired with the Zigbee hub.
You can now use your smart home app to turn the sensor on/off.

Troubleshooting
25
Why nothing shows up for devices or group on the Third Reality
app? I am using a SmartThings hub.
Because you are using Echo (Alexa APP) and SmartThings (Smart-
Things APP), it will bypass Third Reality app. Only when you are
using Third Reality Hub (which is equivalent to SmartThings Hub),
then the Third Reality app is required and will show the device in
the app.
