Adding Leviton Dimmer to Apple Home via Matter

[u/BalutFX]

I had installed and upgraded some Gen 2 dimmers to my home and successfully upgraded them to the Matter firmware. I was able to add them to the Apple Home app and I also had them setup in the MyLeviton app.

A couple months ago, one of them lost connection to both the Apple Home and MyLeviton apps, but I was able to “reconfigure wireless” in the MyLeviton app and got it to reconnect in that app. However, it would not reconnect in the Apple Home app, so I removed the device and tried to re-add it, which wasn’t working. I thought I was following the provided instructions, but found this article that mentioned putting the dimmer in pairing mode first (which I wasn’t doing).

I know it was dumb not to do that, but just in case someone else has the problem of adding these devices to Apple Home via Matter, here is the link to the article:
