The invention relates to a method and a system ( 200 ) for communicating wirelessly between devices. Wireless communication can be a very appropriate way of interconnecting nearby devices, such as devices located within a home. However, equipping all devices with a wireless transceiver may not be desirable. Furthermore, an ordinary user should be able to connect devices in a straightforward and convenient way. The invention addresses these issues by means of a wireless communication key ( 250, 260, 270 ). This is a key-like object equipped with a transceiver. A key can be attached to a device ( 220, 230, 240 ) for which a wireless connection is required. A key may have to be powered by the device to which it gets attached and can then establish a wireless connection ( 280, 282 ) with another device. The other device is determined by the key used. A key may be associated with a fixed endpoint device ( 210 ), permanently equipped with a transceiver ( 212 ). Alternatively, a key may be associated with a second key that is to be attached to the other device.
