1. Confirm the device is actually Matter-capable in the intended setup path.
2. Check that the controller app and firmware are current.
3. Verify local-network permissions on the phone used for onboarding.
4. Confirm the pairing code or QR path is still valid.
5. Reduce distance and network complexity during first commissioning.
