Techniques for managing pairing procedures between computing devices and accessory computing devices

A method for synchronizing pairing procedures between computing devices and accessory computing devices, the method comprising, by a first computing device:

• receiving, from a second computing device, a request for the second computing device to pair with a first accessory computing device with which the first computing device is paired;
• facilitating a pairing between the first accessory computing device and the second computing device;
• registering the second computing device to be notified when other accessory computing devices are paired with the first computing device;
• pairing with a second accessory computing device;
• and
• providing, to the second computing device, a notification of the pairing between the first computing device and the second accessory computing device.

A method for pairing accessory computing devices with other computing devices, the method comprising, by an accessory computing device that is paired with a first computing device:

• receiving, from the first computing device, a request for the accessory computing device to pair with a second computing device;
• updating a configuration of the accessory computing device to:
• cause the accessory computing device to enter into a pairing mode,
• cause the accessory computing device to remain in the pairing mode until a time that exceeds a next-scheduled awake cycle of the accessory computing device by a threshold amount of time, and
• cause the accessory computing device to, in conjunction with entering into the next-scheduled awake cycle, advertise to at least the second computing device that the accessory computing device is able to perform a pairing;
• receiving a pairing request from the second computing device;
• and
• pairing with the second computing device.
