## Bluetooth used during commissioning
Most (if not all) Matter-compliant devices will also have a Bluetooth chip onboard, this is to ease commissioning (a somewhat technical term for adding a device to your controller). Bluetooth will not be used to control a device but only to pair it after unboxing or factory resetting. The Home Assistant controller uses the Home Assistant Companion app to do {% term commissioning %}, so you can bring your phone close to the device you want to {% term commission %}. The controller will then send your network credentials to your device over Bluetooth in the {% term commissioning %} process. If that succeeds, the device will communicate over its native interface, meaning Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or {% term Thread %}.

<div class='note'>
Although your Home Assistant server might have a Bluetooth adapter on board that the controller can use to {% term commission %} devices, we choose not to utilize that adapter. Mainly to prevent issues with the built-in Bluetooth integration but also because it makes more sense to bring your mobile devices close to the Matter device you'd like to {% term commission %}.
