Abstract

A pairing scheme may add devices to a mesh network automatically. Assuming that at least one device is already part of the mesh network, this scheme may allow devices that have not been paired yet to be automatically added to the mesh, eliminating manual pairing processes. When a new device is powered on, it may broadcast a connectable advertisement packet. The payload of this packet may be secure and not understood by the recipient device. Rather, only a server may have a copy of the device key, and can thus decrypt the advertising packet. The server sends a packet back with a network key and information, and the device then becomes part of the network.
