Method and system for managing a slave device through a master device

A system comprising:

• a slave device, wherein the slave device is associated with a machine-readable code;
• and
• a master device configured to manage the slave device, the master device comprising:
• a processor configured to perform one of:
• scanning the machine-readable code;
• and
• employing near-field communication for communicating with the machine-readable code;
• and
• program instructions for:
• downloading a control application corresponding to the slave device, wherein downloading the control application comprises retrieving a source for downloading the control application from the machine-readable code;
• establishing a relationship between the master device and the slave device using the control application based on a Unique Identifier (UID) associated with the slave device, wherein the UID associated with the slave device is retrieved from the machine-readable code;
• and
• controlling the slave device using the control application, wherein the control application is invoked using the machine-readable code.
