Seamless connection to multiple wireless controllers

A method of communicatively coupling a network device to a control circuit disposed in one of a plurality of system controllers communicatively coupled via a first network connection, wherein the plurality of system controllers share a common service set identifier (SSID) and SSID password, and wherein each of the plurality of system controllers communicatively couples to one or more respective control devices via a second network connection, the method comprising:

• broadcasting, by the control circuit, the service set identifier (SSID) via a third network connection;
• receiving, by the control circuit, the SSID password from the network device via the third network connection different from the first network connection and the second network connection;
• providing to the network device via the third network connection, responsive to receipt of the SSID password from the network device:
• data indicative of one or more of the plurality of system controllers communicatively coupled, via the first network connection, to the respective control circuit and to which the network device may communicatively couple;
• and
• data indicative of the one or more control devices communicatively coupled via the second network connection to each respective one of the one or more system controllers;
• and
• receiving, from the network device via the third network connection, an input indicative of a target system controller selected from the one or more system controllers and, responsive to the receipt of the input indicative of the target system controller:
• redirecting, by the control circuit, inputs received via the third network connection from the network device to the target system controller;
• and
• redirecting, by the control circuit, inputs received from the target system controller via the first network connection to the network device.

A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by control circuit in a system controller communicatively couplable via a first network connection to a plurality of system controllers that share a common service set identifier (SSID) and SSID password, each of the system controllers couplable via a second network connection to one or more respective control devices, cause the control circuit to:

• broadcast the SSID via a third network connection different from the first network connection and the second network connection;
• receive the SSID password from a network device via the third network connection;
• responsive to receipt of the SSID password from the network device, provide to the network device via the third network connection:
• data indicative of one or more of the plurality of system controllers communicatively coupled via the first network connection to the respective control circuit and to which the network device may communicatively couple via the control circuit;
• and
• data indicative of the one or more control devices communicatively coupled via the second network connection to each respective one of the one or more system controllers;
• and
• receive from the network device via the third network, an input indicative of a target system controller selected from the one or more system controllers;
• and
• responsive to the receipt of the input indicative of the target system controller:
• redirect inputs received from the network device via the third network to the target system controller;
• and
• redirect inputs received from the target system controller via the first network to the network device.
