Efficient internet-of-things device configuration via quick response codes

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that, when executed by one or more processors of a first device, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• receiving, from a second device, a set of operating parameters for controlling one or more functions of a first node, the set of operating parameters being extracted from an image captured by the second device, the first device and the second device being external to the first node;
• configuring a first device controller executing on the first device based on the set of operating parameters extracted from the image, wherein the first device controller controls the first node across a mesh network;
• monitoring, via the first device controller, the one or more functions of the first node based on one or more operating parameters included in the set of operating parameters;
• and
• in response to monitoring the one or more functions, issuing, via the first device controller, one or more commands to the first node to cause the first node to perform at least one operation based on the one or more operating parameters.

A system, comprising:

• a node that resides within a mesh network;
• a server coupled to the mesh network and configured to perform the steps of:
• receiving, by the server from a mobile device coupled to the server via a cell network, a set of operating parameters for controlling one or more functions of the node, the set of operating parameters being extracted from an image captured by the mobile device, the server and the mobile device being external to the node;
• configuring, by the server, a first device controller executing on the server based on the set of operating parameters extracted from the image, wherein the first device controller controls the node across the mesh network,
• monitoring, by the server via the first device controller, the one or more functions of the node based on one or more operating parameters included in the set of operating parameters, and
• in response to monitoring the one or more functions, issuing, by the server via the first device controller, one or more commands, via the first device controller, to the node to cause the node to perform at least one operation based on the one or more operating parameters;
• and
• the mobile device configured to:
• capture the image, and
• transmit the image to the server via the cell network.
