What is the best UX of account linking in Google Home App

Question

I'm developing my smart home device. For now, it doesn't have a native app but only a web client. My home-actions work well, but I'm worried about the complexity of adding a new device in the google home app.

According to add new device user have to:

1. Open Home app
2. Click + button
3. Click "Set up device"
4. Click "Have something already set up"
5. Find my application in the list

And only then starts the process of the user linking.

I think that should be an easier way to link users, for example, deep-link to "user linking" in-home app, but I cannot find one.

Can someone explain the best user experience of account linking in Google Home App, for both mobile application and web application?

对于原生应用，Smart Home 文档现在有一个关于App Flip的部分，它允许您“深度链接”到您的原生应用以完成帐户链接过程。
