Abstract

A domestic appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a user input positioned on an exterior of the cabinet, and a controller configured to initiate a commissioning operation. The commissioning operation may include opening a connection channel at a wireless access point on the domestic appliance according to a predetermined initial timeout period. The commissioning operation may further include establishing communication between a remote user interface device and the wireless access point via the open connection channel within the predetermined initial timeout period. The commissioning operation may still further include, in response to establishing communication, maintaining the connection channel between the user device and the wireless access point according to a predetermined extended timeout period.
