Abstract
Provisioning data is shared with a new device being added to a home environment network. An existing home environment device may receive a request from the new device and transmit provisioning information for user services to the new device. Coordination between the new device and plurality of home environment devices provide for notifications of the provisioning request at several home environment devices. The notifications are removed from other home environment devices when a user responds to one of the notifications at a particular home environment device.
