Auto-provisioning of wireless speaker devices for audio/video recording and communication devices
First Claim
1. A method for a speaker device comprising a speaker, a non-volatile memory, a communication module, and a processing module operatively connected to the speaker, the non-volatile memory, and to the communication module, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from the speaker device, a provisioning beacon signal using the communication module of the speaker device, the provisioning beacon signal comprising a broadcast wireless signal that indicates to other wireless devices that the speaker device is a first wireless access point;
receiving, by the speaker device using the communication module, from a network device configured to provide a second wireless access point, at least one credential signal, wherein the at least one credential signal is in response to the provisioning beacon signal and includes credential data for connecting to the second wireless access point;
storing the credential data in the non-volatile memory of the speaker device;
attempting, by the speaker device, to connect to the second wireless access point provided by the network device using the credential data;
determining that the attempt to connect to the second wireless access point was successful; and
playing a first audio prompt, using the speaker of the speaker device, after determining that the attempt to connect to the second wireless access point was successful, wherein the first audio prompt comprises a statement indicating that the attempt to connect to the second wireless access point was successful.
