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 light bulb with the
Smart Bridge, it transforms into a Matter compatible smart color bulb,
enabling local control through Matter. Third Reality also offers the 3R-In-
staller App, which lets you configure Zigbee bulb attributes such as de-
fault-on behavior and perform firmware updates.
Ensure your bridge is already set up within your smart home
system.
Ensure the light switch controlling the E26 bulb socket is turned off.
Then install the smart color bulb by screwing it securely into the
socket.
Turn on the light bulb and confirm it’s in pairing mode. The smart
bulb will flash warm white, cool white, red, green, and blue within
3 seconds, then turn solid warm white, indicating it has entered
Zigbee pairing mode. If this sequence doesn’t occur, please factory
reset the bulb to initiate pairing mode.
Press the pinhole button on the bridge to activate Zigbee pairing
mode. The Zigbee blue LED should start blinking.
The bulb 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 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 the light switch controlling the E26 bulb socket is turned off.
Then install the smart color bulb by screwing it securely into the
socket.

occur, please factory reset the bulb to initiate pairing mode.

tion.
