1. A method for establishing a pairing between a smart-home hazard detector and an online management account established at a central server, said online management account having an associated account identifier, the method comprising:
instantiating, at a mobile computing device, an application designed for configuration and control of the hazard detector, said application establishing communication over the Internet with the central server; receiving, at the mobile computing device, a first code from the central server; receiving, at the mobile computing device, information derived from a printed surface on the hazard detector or a printed document or package physically accompanying the hazard detector at a setup location, said information comprising a second code; broadcasting, by the hazard detector, a Wi-Fi access point SSID hosted by the hazard detector; receiving, at the mobile computing device, a selection of said access point SSID from a user and establishing a corresponding Wi-Fi connection with the hazard detector, wherein said Wi-Fi connection is authenticated using said second code; receiving, at the mobile computing device, an identity of a home Wi-Fi network through which the hazard detector is to access the Internet; sending, from the mobile computing device to the hazard detector, said first code and said identity of said home Wi-Fi network; establishing, by the hazard detector, data communications with said central server using said home Wi-Fi network; and transmitting, by the hazard detector to the central server, a transmission comprising said first code, wherein said transmission is authenticated by the central server using information fixably stored in a memory of said hazard detector at a time of manufacture; whereby said pairing is achieved by said central server by (i) validating a pre-established matching relationship using said second code, and (ii) upon said validation, associating said hazard detector with said account identifier. |
