After installation, a device may be not yet powered. It may be awakened by receiving a flash of light of sufficient frequency and amplitude. After waking, the device decodes the message to determine its next action, and, upon request sends an authentication message. This enables a single user action to wake the device up and set it up with networking credentials. The same process may be used to wake the device outside of a normal sleep-wake cycle.

External activation of quiescent device

After installation, a device may be asleep. A light signal device may send a message to the sleeping device to wake it up. This wake-up message may comprise the light signal device sending programmed light signals, the programmed light signals in modified morse code. An authentication part may also be included in the message. The light signal device may request an authentication message from the sleeping device.
