Abstract
Methods of provisioning a new household appliance using an existing household appliance are provided. The existing household appliance is connected to a wireless network and provisioned to a user account. A request to add the new household appliance is received by the existing household appliance. The new household appliance searches and/or scans for the existing household appliance. A direct connection is established by and between the existing household appliance and the new household appliance. Network credentials for the wireless network and a provisioning token for the user account are securely transmitted from the existing household appliance to the new household appliance over the direct connection. The new household appliance connects to the wireless network using the securely transmitted network credentials and associates with the user account using the securely transmitted provisioning token.
