ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD, INLCUDING AUTO-PROVISIONING CAPABILITY

摘要

According to an aspect of the disclosure, a provisioning system for a network includes a first device associated with a site. The first device includes a communication chip associated therewith. The system also includes a second device including a device identifier associated therewith. The communication chip is configured to read the device identifier on the second device to obtain information about the second device. The device identifier of the second device is transmitted to a cloud server. Information about the second device is received at the first device from the cloud server based on the device identifier. Based on the information from the cloud server about the second device it can then be joined to the network by the first device.

主权项

1. A method of provisioning a device to a network, comprising:
providing a first device configured to communicate with a network at a site, the first device including a communication chip and a processor associated therewith; providing a second device, which is discrete from the first device, the second device including a device identifier associated therewith; establishing communication between the first device and the second device over the network; employing the communication chip of the first device to retrieve the device identifier of the second device; establishing communication between the first device and a cloud server; transmitting the device identifier of the second device from the first device to the cloud server; receiving device information about the second device at the first device from the cloud server based on the device identifier of the second device; and using the processor of the first device to automatically join the second device to the network using at least the device information received from the cloud server.
