Methods, systems, and instructions for remotely controlling devices using device control profiles are described herein. The device control profile may include resetting configuration data in a remote device, arming and disarming failsafes on remote devices, or enabling and disabling connection monitoring links to maintain an active connection between remote devices.

Device control profile for a fabric network

Methods and systems for controlling a remote device that includes receiving, at an assisting device, a remote passive rendezvous request from a commissioning device. The commissioning device manages access to a fabric on which the assisting device resides, and the assisting device is configured to assist a joining device in joining the network. Moreover, the assisting device passively waits to rendezvous with the joining device remotely through its network interface. The remote passive rendezvous request includes a rendezvous timeout field that indicates how long a remote passive rendezvous attempt may remain open before the assisting device is to close the attempt. Furthermore, the remote passive rendezvous request includes a filter address that indicates a device to which device is to serve as the joining device.
