    摘要: This application discloses a method for commissioning an electronic device in a smart home environment. The electronic device receives from a client device signals that are encoded with communication data. The client device executes a client-side application associated with a user account that generates the encoded signals. The encoded communication data includes at least one or more network credentials of a local area network, and an authentication token that provides sufficient information to identify the user account. The electronic device generates a link approval request including the authentication token, and device identification information that identifies the electronic device. The electronic device then accesses the local area network using the network credentials provided by the client device, and sends the link approval request to a server via the local area network for association with the user account and addition to the smart home environment.

    摘要: This application discloses a method for commissioning an electronic device in a smart home environment. The electronic device receives from a client device one-way signals that are encoded with communication data. The client device is located in proximity, and executes a client-side application associated with a user account that generates the one-way signals. The encoded communication data includes at least one or more network credentials of a local area network, and an authentication token that provides sufficient information to identify the user account. The electronic device generates a link approval request including the authentication token, and device identification information that identifies the electronic device. The electronic device then accesses the local area network using the network credentials provided by the client device, and sends the link approval request to a server via the local area network for association with the user account and addition to the smart home environment.

    摘要: A first device receives a first command for performing a first functionality on at least a second device, the first functionality comprising a plurality of constituent functionalities, wherein the second device is not configured to execute the first command. The first command is translated into a plurality of sub-commands for execution by respective devices. Each of the plurality of sub-commands, when executed, performs a respective constituent functionality of the plurality of constituent functionalities, and execution of any one of the sub-commands individually does not perform the entire first functionality. The first device manages execution of the plurality of sub-commands by the respective devices, wherein execution of the plurality of sub-commands by the respective devices emulates performance of the first functionality on at least the second device.

    摘要: This application discloses a method implemented at a client device for adding a smart device in a smart home environment. The client device executes a client-side application associated with a user account, and the client-side application is associated with an electronic device that is coupled to the client device over a first communication network. A first user interface is then displayed by the client-side application for adding a new smart device. The first user interface includes a first affordance that when selected causes the electronic device to initiate a plurality of commissioning options. The client device then displays a device-specific control user interface associated with the new smart device in response to receiving an indication that the new smart device has been added into the smart home environment via communication between the electronic device and the new smart device using one of a plurality of communication protocols.

    摘要: This application discloses a method implemented at an electronic device for adding a smart device in a smart home environment. The electronic device receives from a client device a request to add a new smart device to the smart home environment over a first communication network, and the request is issued by a client-side application associated with a user account. In response to the request, the electronic device determines that a new smart device is available to add to the smart home environment via a second communication network. Then, the electronic device connects to the new smart device via the second communication network, obtains device information of the new smart device via the second communication network, and causes a notification to be provided to a user concerning association of the new smart device with the user account and addition of the new smart device to the smart home environment.
