Abstract: In one aspect, a device has a controller and a fascia assembly, with a fascia, and a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted to the fascia. The PCB has a plurality of holes, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein one LED is mounted adjacent to each hole. The device also includes a wiring harness coupling the controller to the PCB wherein the LEDs may be energized according to signals received from the controller; and a console adjacent the PCB. The console has a plurality of light reflecting cups arranged therein so that each light reflecting cup covers an LED and the adjacent hole to reflect light from the LEDs through the holes so that the light is visible through the fascia assembly.

Abstract: A method of provisioning an appliance to connect to a Wi-Fi network includes a mobile device having an encryption key to enable secure communication in the network, and a means to wirelessly communicate with the appliance. A wireless communication device and a software protocol in the appliance are configured to operate in an unsecured short range configuration mode by reducing transmission power and in a long range configuration mode where transmission power is not reduced. By placing the wireless communication device into the short range configuration mode and moving the mobile device to a position within the short range to establish communication with the wireless communication device, the encryption key may be transmitted from the mobile device to the appliance via the wireless communication device without security. The wireless communication device may then be placed into the long range mode to securely connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Abstract translation: 提供设备以连接到Wi-Fi网络的方法包括具有加密密钥以允许网络中的安全通信的移动设备以及与设备进行无线通信的手段。 设备中的无线通信设备和软件协议被配置为通过降低发送功率和在不减少发送功率的长距离配置模式中以不安全的短距离配置模式操作。 通过将无线通信设备置于短距离配置模式并将移动设备移动到短距离内的位置以建立与无线通信设备的通信，加密密钥可以经由无线通信从移动设备发送到设备 设备无安全 然后无线通信设备可以被放置在长距离模式以安全地连接到Wi-Fi网络。
