Configuration of a new enrollee device for use in a communication network

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first network interface configured for communications with a network registrar via a communication network;
• a processor;
• a sensor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to,
• obtain, via the sensor, sensor information that is indicative of a device key, the device key associated with a new enrollee device to be configured for the communication network, wherein the new enrollee device is a headless device that lacks a first user interface for configuring the new enrollee device for the communication network,
• determining the device key based, at least in part, on the sensor information, and
• provide the device key to the network registrar to cause the network registrar to configure the new enrollee device for the communication network.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations that comprise:

• obtaining, via a sensor of an electronic device, sensor information that is indicative of a device key, the device key associated with a new enrollee device to be configured for a communication network, wherein the new enrollee device is a headless device that lacks a first user interface for configuring the new enrollee device for the communication network;
• determining the device key based, at least in part, on the sensor information;
• and
• providing the device key to a network registrar to cause the network registrar to configure the new enrollee device for the communication network.
