How to share Level Lock via Google Home

Hi all. I have a Level Bolt and have updated the firmware to the Matter-over-Thread version. I've successfully paired it with Google Home via my Google Streamer 4k which serves as a TBR. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to bring it into HE. I do have the Google Home Integration installed, but the device doesn't appear in the selection list for some reason. I see many other devices, but can't find "Front Door Lock", as it is named in Google Home. It works perfectly in the Google Home app, so I know that part is working properly. I restarted the C-8 Pro thinking perhaps that would update the list, but it did not. Any ideas?

EDIT: I forgot that the Google Home app is to SEND devices to Google Home, so it now makes sense that it wouldn't appear in the list. I'm still stuck on how to share the device from Google Home to HE.

Claude to the rescue. These steps worked great. Posting here in case anyone else needs this:

The Process (Two-Stage)

Stage 1: Commission the Level Bolt to a Primary Platform

You need to first pair the Level Bolt to one of the supported platforms that does have Bluetooth + a Thread border router (Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa).

  1. Make sure your Level Bolt has the Matter firmware. Level Bolt owners need to fill out a form on Level's website to request the OTA firmware update that adds Matter-over-Thread capabilities. Matter Alpha Check Your Level Lock+ and Level Bolt are ready for Matter | Level to confirm eligibility.
  2. Open the Level Home app → go to SettingsWorks With and follow the prompts to add to Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa (whichever platform has your Thread border router).
  3. Complete the pairing using your phone's Bluetooth near the lock.

Stage 2: Share to Hubitat via Multi-Admin

Once the lock is commissioned on a primary platform, you generate a sharing code and add it to Hubitat.

Get a setup code from the commissioning Matter Fabric, then type or copy/paste that code into Hubitat under "Enter the 11 digit setup code." Note that this is not the QR code on the device itself — that's for initial commissioning only. Hubitat

How to get the sharing code from each platform:

  • Apple Home: Long-press the lock → Accessory Settings → Turn On Pairing Mode → use the code shown
  • Google Home: Devices → your lock → Settings → Linked Matter apps and services → Link app → copy the code
  • Amazon Alexa: Devices → your lock → Settings → Connected Matter apps → Add → copy the code

In Hubitat:

  1. Go to DevicesAdd DeviceMatter
  2. Select Enter setup code manually
  3. Paste the 11-digit code from your primary platform
  4. Click Start Pairing and wait
