Smart device configuration guidance via automated assistant interface of separate client device

A system comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processors to:

• determine, based on a received query, that a smart device is to be configured by a user, wherein the received query is received prior to any previous utilization of an automated assistant interface of a client device to configure the smart device;
• provide, by the automated assistant interface of the client device or additional client device of the user, an instruction for capturing an image associated with configuration of the smart device;
• receive the image based on the user capturing the image in response to the provided instruction, the image captured via a camera of the client device or an additional client device of the user;
• determine a characteristic of the configuration based on the received image, wherein in determining the characteristic of the configuration based on the received image one or more of the processors are to:
• determine, based on a QR code in the received image, a model of the smart device;
• generate, based on the received query and the model of the smart device, a modified query;
• and
• provide, by the automated assistant interface, a configuration instruction for configuring the smart device, wherein the configuration instruction is based on processing the modified query.
