Provided are a method and apparatus for acquiring information of a CHIP device using a GAS in a wireless LAN system in a smart home environment Specifically, a controller obtains first to third identifiers by scanning a quick response (QR) code of a controlee; The controller transmits a GAS initiation request message to the controlee. The controller receives a GAS initiation response message from the controlee. The GAS initiation request message includes first and second identifiers and an encrypted payload. The GAS initiation response message includes a decrypted payload when the first and second identifiers are the same as identifiers of the controlee.
