Abstract:
A wireless enabled lighting device having the ability to retrieve credentials for a primary wireless LAN from another previously configured wireless enabled lighting device is disclosed. After installation, the lighting device may be instructed to join a secondary wireless network temporarily provided by the previously configured lighting device. Once connected to the secondary wireless network, the lighting device may be provided the credentials for the primary wireless LAN from the previously installed device. The lighting device may then join the primary wireless LAN based on the provided credentials and may automatically initiate enrollment with a remote cloud service. After enrollment, the lighting device may be instructed to operate as an access point for the secondary wireless network, thereby allowing a subsequently installed lighting device to retrieve the credentials for the primary wireless LAN from the newly enrolled lighting device.
