1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • sending, to a headless tracking device via a first wireless connection of a first wireless connection type, a request causing the headless tracking device to detect one or more wireless networks of a second wireless connection type that is different than the first wireless connection type, wherein the request comprises a request for the tracking device to detect one or more wireless networks of the second wireless connection type, and wherein the headless tracking device comprisescircuitry that collects data related to location or movement of the headless tracking device;

    receiving, from the headless tracking device, wireless network data comprising identifiers of one or more detected wireless networks of the second wireless connection type;

    generating a display of the identifiers of the one or more detected wireless networks of the second wireless connection type;

    receiving user input provisioning data comprising of, for a particular wireless network of the detected wireless networks, one or more of a wireless network security type and a wireless network key, wherein the provisioning data represents a wireless device profile comprising one or more of a wireless network name, a wireless network security type, and a wireless network key; and

    sending, to the headless tracking device, the provisioning data for establishing a second wireless connection with a particular wireless network of the one or more detected wireless networks;

    wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
