+- term: Commissioning
+  definition: >-
+    In the context of Matter devices, *commissioning* is the process of adding a device to a Matter controller. It is the equivalent of pairing a device in Zigbee or Z-Wave. Commissioning is done by scanning a QR code or entering a code manually. The code is printed on the device or its packaging. The code contains information about the device, such as its type, manufacturer, and serial number. The controller uses this information to identify the device and to download the required information to control the device. For example, the controller downloads the device's capabilities, such as the supported commands and the available attributes. The controller also downloads the device's configuration, such as the device's name and location.
