Rapid Registration of Devices for an Electronic Monitoring System

A system for registering devices for use in an electronic monitoring system, comprising:

• a router operative to establish a network connection to a backend system and to establish a local wireless network;
• a first Internet of Things (IoT) enabled device that is configured for use in the electronic monitoring system;
• a second IoT enabled device that is operative to be registered in the electronic monitoring system;
• and
• a switch located on the first IoT device, the second IoT device, or in an application executing on a user device, wherein the switch is configured to be responsive to manual activation thereof to initiate registration of the second IoT enabled device, and wherein the second IoT device further comprises:
• a memory operative to store a plurality of instructions;
• a communication circuit operative to connect to the local wireless network;
• and
• a controller operative to execute the plurality of instructions to:
• receive an onboarding key and an intent to onboard key, wherein the onboarding key is generated when the first IoT device is registered to the electronic system;
• transmit the onboarding key, intent to onboard key, and an Internet of Things (IoT) certificate to a backend system via the network connection;
• receive credentials for execution in the electronic monitoring system responsive to the backend system verifying a user account corresponding to the onboarding key and verifying the IoT certificate.
