White Canopy Module Matter Binding To On/Off Switch

It took me a while to figure out how to set up the Matter binding between my White Series Fan & Light Canopy Module and On/Off Switch so I just want to document how I got it working.

First, my setup:

  • Home Assistant version: 2026.9.3
  • Matter Server version: 1.4.0 (matter.js/0.17.9)
  • Canopy Module version: 1.0.0
  • On/Off Switch version: 1.0.5

And here’s how I bound the switch to the module:

  1. from the Matter Server page, selected the switch from the devices list (Node 44 in my case)
  2. selected Endpoint 2
  3. clicked Add Binding
  4. selected canopy module device (node 48 in my case)
  5. selected endpoint 1 (light) and on/off cluster
  6. navigated to the Home Assistant devices page, selected the switch
  7. set the switch’s “Control of switch load” to “Remote & paddle control” ← THIS WAS KEY
  8. set the “Smart Bulb Mode” to “Smart Bulb Enabled”
  9. power cycled both devices (i.e. breaker) - not sure if this actually was required

After that, the switch could turn the canopy light on and off!

Other details that don’t matter as far as I can tell:

  • Inovelli devices are added via Apple Home, shared to Home Assistant (Apple TV as Thread border router)

  • Switch Type is set to “Single-Pole”

  • I didn’t try messing with the other clusters such as Identify or Dimming
