Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for wireless and non-line-of-sight commissioning of smart devices. Smart devices can broadcast a first radio message that is detected by an ID tool during commissioning. The first radio messages can be unique to each device, such that the ID tool can send a second radio message addressed to a select device, the address based on the first radio message from the select/addressed device. The addressed device can respond to confirm the identity and location of the addressed device. The ID tool can then send a third radio message with a registration request command, again addressed to the selected installed device. In response, the selected installed device can enter a registration request mode and transmit an identification to a commissioning system, whereby that device's identity is now know to the system and can be wirelessly controlled.
