Abstract:
Techniques are provided for establishing a secure home ecosystem such that the one or more installers only have access to set-up accessories. A mobile device may identify a home device using a first wireless protocol. The mobile device may enable a secure channel between the home device and the mobile device via a second wireless protocol. The mobile device may authenticate access for the mobile device using an identification code. The mobile device may validate a home device certificate via a secure server. The mobile device may send a mobile device certificate to the home device via the secure channel. The mobile device may receive a signed mobile device certificate from the home device via the secure channel and receive accessory information corresponding to one or more accessory devices from the home device. The mobile device can be configured to connect to the one or more accessory devices.
