App update

Optimized Matter experience

Improved the pairing process of Matter devices and enhanced the stability of pairing Matter over Wi-Fi devices, Matter over Thread devices, and wired Matter gateways.

Optimized device pairing

• Added compatibility with tablets during the pairing guide on the app. Currently, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) combo devices support this feature.
  

• Increased the width of the left sidebar on the homepage of the pairing guide when the app runs in landscape mode on tablets. This allows the sidebar to fully display all level-1 category names and accommodate their multilingual text.

  

• Displayed the Add button without wrapping lines on the automatic discovery page during the pairing guide. This button supports multilingual settings.

  

Supported Bluetooth roaming

Allowed connection to certain Bluetooth devices when they roam within Bluetooth coverage areas. This feature can work only when used in tandem with compatible gateways and roaming devices.

• Allowed roaming devices to report data through different gateways during their roaming connection to the gateways. This feature extends the reach of mobile phones and facilitates scenarios that deal with device locations.
• Allowed direct connection to roaming devices over Bluetooth.
