1. A method for configuring a network device comprising:

  • detecting, via a sensor of a mobile device, sensor information from the network device, wherein the sensor information indicates device configuration information associated with the network device;

    decoding the sensor information detected from the network device;

    determining, via the mobile device, the device configuration information based at least in part on the decoding the sensor information;

    establishing, based at least in part on the device configuration information, a first communication link with the network device;

    providing, from the mobile device to the network device via the first communication link, network credentials associated with an access point of a communication network to configure the network device to communicatively couple to the communication network via the access point;

    storing, at the mobile device, the device configuration information associated with the network device;

    identifying the network device from a plurality of previously enrolled network devices based at least in part on the device configuration information;

    determining a communication parameter associated with the network device to establish a second communication link with the network device after identifying the network device; and

    providing a command from the mobile device to the network device to vary an operating parameter of the network device after establishing the second communication link with the network device.
