Abstract: The various embodiments include methods and systems for facilitating the configuration of smart objects within a wireless communication system by leveraging the microphonic effect to enable a user to identify each smart object to a control device. By configuring the control device to monitor wireless signals from a plurality of smart objects for small modulations due to the microphonic effect from a user tap on a particular smart object, the control device may recognize a particular smart device to be configured. By coordinating the monitoring for small modulations in received signals with a user interface for registering smart objects, various embodiments provide a simple mechanism by which users can correlate smart objects to corresponding icons or object names in a control interface. The various embodiments enable a user to complete the onboarding a smart objects with a control device without requiring the need to enter information into a user interface.
