Abstract
Examples are disclosed that facilitate using a mobile device to provision of a connectable device to a user account. The disclosed examples provide for provisioning a connected device by a mobile device that uses a near field communication (NFC) transceiver in the mobile device to obtain information identifying a connectable device. The information identifying the connectable device is obtained from a NFC transponder associated with the connectable device. The mobile device processor accesses user account-related information to retrieve user authenticating information. The user authenticating information and the information identifying the connectable device is transmitted via a wireless communication transceiver to a provisioning server for provisioning the connectable device in a network. A confirmation of the provisioning of the connectable device to the user account associated with the mobile device is presented in a user interface element of the mobile device.
