Cluster

Setting NameDescription
Your AddressDisplays what the cluster sees as your device’s address.
Change ClusterIf you have more than one cluster configuration for your device, this allows you to switch over to the other. Although you can have two cluster configurations on a single device, at this time, it can only be actively running on one at a time.
Join ClusterFor a new device that needs onboarded to the cluster, choose this option while in the presence (within 100 feet or so) of the root device.
Onboard DeviceIf you are using the root device, it can onboard new devices. Choose this option on the root device, while in the presence of the to-be-onboarded device.
Create ClusterCreate a new cluster configuration. When you do this, the device that you create it on will forever be the root of this newly-created cluster. This new cluster will have a completely different set of trusted devices and everything else.
Delete ClusterDelete a cluster configuration. If you do this on the root device, no more devices will be onboarded to that existing cluster (although they may continue to use it).

If a non-root device deletes a cluster configuraion, it may at any time be re-onboarded to that cluster, and it will then receive the same address and identity on that cluster that it had before. That is, unless a factory reset happens, in which case the device is effectively an entirely new device as far as the cluster root knows.
