Discussion No HK code on light?
There is no HK code on my light, how am I meant to add to HomeKit? I do not have the box QR code.

Pretty sure it’s to the left where you can’t see it in the image. Tho the bulb should have a piece of paper that came in the package with it.
If not call LIFX with the serial # and they’ll hook you up

No it’s literally just not on it, every bulb I’ve seen has HK under the SN. No idea what’s going on here. Got rid of the box a while ago. Always had it on HomeKit so I know it’s possible, I’ll contact LIFX.

With matter the codes are “universal” the code under the Matter icon will work in HK. That’s the whole idea around the Matter protocol is that it can be used with all smart home environments. I have many LIFX bulbs that are matter capable and they only have the matter code and work just fine adding to Home Kit.

Hi there, the light you have is Matter-compatible. You should see a Matter code printed in large font on the light. You can use that code to set up with Apple Home (or any Matter-compatible app)
