Activation of a home automation controller
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sending, by a first security, monitoring, and automation (SMA) controller and to a first remote device, a unique identifier, wherein the unique identifier is associated with configuration data, and wherein the configuration data is associated with home automation devices, cameras, and an account associated with the first SMA controller;
receiving, by the first SMA controller and based on the unique identifier, the configuration data; and
configuring, based on the received configuration data, the first SMA controller.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a single platform that provides controller functionality for each of security, monitoring and automation, as well as providing a capacity to function as a bidirectional Internet gateway. Embodiments of the present invention provide such functionality by virtue of a configurable architecture that enables a user to adapt the system for the user'"'"'s specific needs. Embodiments of the present invention further provide for a software-based installation workflow to activate and provision the controller and associated sensors and network. Embodiments of the present invention also provide for downloading of previously-stored configuration data to the controller from a remote server, and for activation and provisioning of the controller from the previously-stored configuration data.
