Version 1.0.26: One device, several codes

One device, several codes

Some devices ship with more than one code. For example, a door lock can have a Matter QR and a HomeKit QR. This build lets you merge those codes into one device, so the lock is one entry in your list and not two.

To merge two codes, drag one onto the other in the list, or open either device and tap Combine with another device. This build called the feature Combine, and later builds call it Merge. The app asks whether the two are one device or two devices that live together, because merging and grouping are not the same:

• A merged device is one physical thing with several codes.
• A group is several physical things in one place.

A merged device has one row in the list, with a label for each protocol. On its screen, swipe left and right to move between its codes. Delete removes the code on screen, not the whole device.

Details stay in step

The name, room, floor, icon and group that you set on a merged device apply to every code it holds. When you merge two codes, ReMatter keeps one set of details for both.

The print sheet keeps every code

The print sheet still shows each code on its own card, labeled by its protocol, so a paper backup never loses a code. See Print a paper backup of your codes.

Backups

Backup files keep merged devices from this version on. If you restore a newer file on an older build, the codes come back as separate devices. See Back up and restore your codes.

Fixes

• HomeKit codes from real accessories now scan. The 1.0.24 scanner accepted only the shortest form of the HomeKit QR, and many real stickers are longer, for example the code on a door lock. ReMatter now keeps the whole code, so the saved QR matches the sticker.
• The scanner now reads the exact data on the sticker, so a saved QR is a true copy.
