Setup Code Dynamics in KASA Devices Across Matter Platforms and Apple Home

Post Body

Hi all, I'm curious about the setup code behavior for KASA devices in the Matter ecosystem. Specifically, when a KASA device is first added to Apple Home and later integrated into the KASA app. In such a scenario, it seems there's no prompt to enter a new Matter setup code in the KASA app. The options appear to be either resetting the device (which might remove it from Apple Home) or using an auto-detect feature in the KASA app, which recognizes an existing nearby device. Interestingly, post-integration with the KASA app, the same setup code from the device's sticker (used initially for Apple Home) is displayed again.

Is this a common occurrence with Matter-enabled devices? Should the setup code change for each platform integration for security reasons, or does KASA handle Matter integration differently? Any insights or shared experiences regarding this would be greatly appreciated, as it could clarify how Matter's security protocols function across different ecosystems
