Patent attributes
According to aspects of the present disclosure, user-defined settings may be assigned to a dummy device in response to a first request. A device identifier of a particular electronic device may later be registered with the dummy device in response to a second request. Based on receiving data indicating an installation procedure of the particular electronic device and based on the device identifier being registered with the dummy device, user-defined settings may be transmitted to cause configuration of at least some of the user-defined settings on the particular electronic device. In some cases, the data indicating an installation procedure corresponds to a beacon from the particular electronic device (e.g., a smart home device), which includes the device identifier. Further, the user-defined settings may be provided to the particular electronic device by another electronic device (e.g., another smart home device).
