Steps

  1. Confirm both devices support the mandatory Binding cluster (cluster ID 0x001E), required on Matter device types since Matter 1.0
  2. On the controlling device (e.g. switch), write a TargetStruct entry to the Binding cluster's attribute list specifying the target Node ID, Endpoint, and Cluster ID
  3. For a group target instead of a single device, set the Group field instead of Endpoint, since the two are mutually exclusive
  4. Confirm the FabricIndex in the binding entry matches the fabric both devices share
  5. Trigger the switch and verify it sends the command cluster invoke directly to the bound target, without controller involvement
