Abstract
Various examples are directed to apparatus and methods for deploying wireless control devices in a wireless network. A method includes providing a portable wireless signal strength measurement device configured with one or more wireless interfaces to emulate communication capabilities of a control device. The portable wireless signal strength measurement device is transported to a potential location for placement of the control device, and a control on the measurement device is actuated to trigger communication with a gateway for managing the control device. A response signal is sensed using the portable wireless signal strength measurement device, and a signal strength of the response signal is determined using the measurement device. When the determined signal strength of the response signal is greater than or equal to a programmable threshold, the potential location is selected for placement of the control device.
