How to connect to Alexa #32

Thanks for this library! I managed to pair the light example with Alexa using iOS. For anyone reading this, here is what I did. Maybe someone will find it useful

  1. In the Platformio example, I needed to add #include "arduino.h" for it to compile. Upload the code.
  2. In the serial monitor, look for a line that has an html link to git-hub. Copy the link into your browser and you should see a QR code.
  3. Open the Alexa app.
  4. Open Devices.
  5. Select the plus icon.
  6. Select Add Device.
  7. Select Other from the bottom of the list.
  8. Select Matter.
  9. Confirm that you have a Matter device, select Yes.
  10. Scan your Matter QR Code on your browser in step 2.
