My old master water valve device was Z--wave and no longer works with the Eisy (it did work with ISY) supposedly due to a change in Z-wave protocol. They had me upgrade to a Matter over wifi control but I cannot figure out how to add a Matter device through the admin console. Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot add a Matter device through admin console. It's done through UD mobile. Make sure Matter support is enabled in Configuration (in admin console). Then in UD Mobile, tap on the gear at the bottom, and select Matter. Follow the prompts. If adding the device fails, you can try adding it to another platform first (like google home or Alexa) and then sharing it to the eisy.

What brand and model was your Zwave valve?

Thanks! Will try.

EcoNetControls. I'll get a model off of it and post it. It worked great with the ISY but could not be made to work with the Eisy. On the other hand, my Z-way Yale door lock actually works with the Eisy where it did not happily coexist with the ISY.

I have successfully added the device to my google home app. I was not able to add it through the UD Mobile app, it kept erroring out. So now that it is on the Google Home, how do I share it?

Sorry for the barrage of posts.

I see in my admin console ZM 002.1 On-Off Switch (Matter Device). I see no way to rename it. I assume this is my valve controller as I've added no other Matter devices.

Ok, do this to get a pairing code from Google home (to share the device):

To share a Matter device from Google Home to another platform (like Apple Home or Alexa), use the Matter Multi-Admin feature in the Google Home app to generate a pairing code. Open the app, select the device, go to Settings, tap Linked Matter apps & services, then Link apps & services to generate a code, which must be used in the other app within 15 minutes.

Steps to Share a Matter Device from Google Home

1. Open the Google Home App: Navigate to the devices tab.

2. Select the Device: Tap and hold the specific Matter-enabled device you wish to share.

3. Open Settings: Tap the gear icon (Settings) in the top right.

4. Link Apps & Services: Select Linked Matter apps & services and then Link apps & services.

5. Generate Code: Tap Share with code or Copy pairing code.

6. Complete in Other App: Open the app you want to share to (e.g., Apple Home, Alexa), and choose the "Add Accessory" or "Add Matter Device" option, then paste or scan the code generated by Google Home.

You'll want to choose to generate a pairing code, which will look like something like this: 2499-021-5934. Write it down.

Then open up the UD Mobile app, tap on the gear icon at lower right. Tap on Matter. Choose "Add Matter Device with Setup Code. You'll be prompted for the setup you just wrote down. Enter it, complete with the dashes. It should then add the device, and give it default name starting with ZM followed by numbers. You can then rename it in admin console. I just tested this, adding a GE Cync bulb.
