This application discloses a method implemented at a client device for adding a smart device in a smart home environment. The client device executes a client-side application associated with a user account, and the client-side application is associated with an electronic device that is coupled to the client device over a first communication network. A first user interface is then displayed by the client-side application for adding a new smart device. The first user interface includes a first affordance that when selected causes the electronic device to initiate a plurality of commissioning options. The client device then displays a device-specific control user interface associated with the new smart device in response to receiving an indication that the new smart device has been added into the smart home environment via communication between the electronic device and the new smart device using one of a plurality of communication protocols.
