1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

  • receive registration data from a local network device, wherein the registration data of the local network device comprises an SSID or BSSID for the local network of the local network device;

    store the registration data from the local network device;

    receive registration data from an electronic device, wherein the registration data of the electronic device comprises an SSID or BSSID for the local network of the electronic device;

    transmit, to the local network device, a temporal pairing code (TPC);

    receive, from the electronic device, a request to pair the local network device and the electronic device, wherein the request includes the TPC, and wherein the local network device exposes itself to the network;

    determine whether the local network device and the electronic device are present in the same local network at the same time by determining whether;

    (a) the SSID or BSSID of the electronic device matches the SSID or BSSID respectively of the local network device; and

    (b) the TPC is not expired; and

    based on a determination that the local network device and the electronic device are present in the same local network at the same time because the SSIDs or BSSIDs match and that the TPC is not expired, allow the pairing.
