    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for dynamically generating and implementing scenario profiles for a network of devices, including IoT devices. A managed device can receive a dynamically generated scenario profile that defines tasks to be performed by the device for a given scenario. The device can also receive a scenario message that is broadcasted to all managed devices in a network and identifies an occurrence of a given scenario. If the device determines that the device is an intended recipient of the scenario message, the device can identify the scenario profile associated with the given scenario and perform the tasks defined by the scenario profile. The scenario profile can be modified and/or updated based on event data associated with the device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for staged user enrollment using audio devices. In one embodiment, among others, a system includes a computing device and program instructions. The program instructions can cause the computing device to receive a configuration profile for configuring a client device. The configuration profile includes a device policy associated with an organizational group. The program instructions can further cause the computing device to generate a sound payload based on encoding the configuration profile onto a sound signal. A request is received a request from a voice assistant service for configuring the client device. The request is associated with configuring the client device according to the device policy. The sound payload is transmitted to the voice service for broadcasting from a speaker device. The sound payload is broadcast within an audible distance of the client device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user is prompted to use a client device, such as a smartphone, to initiate an authentication flow. A soundwave is played through the voice assistant device that contains a secret key, which is then sent to an assistant connection service along with a token identifying the user or the user's device. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created.
