1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting first user input indicating an intent to transition the device into a pairing mode, the pairing mode associated with sending and receiving data configured to establish a bonded connection between the device and a voice interface device;
in response to detecting the first user input indicating the intent to transition the device into the pairing mode and while the device is in a mode other than the pairing mode, sending first data representing a non-bondable signal from the device, the non-bondable signal including a first identifier of the device and excluding at least one second credential required for establishing the bonded connection;
determining that a predefined amount of time has lapsed without receiving second data representing a first response to the non-bondable signal including the first identifier; and
determining to refrain from transitioning the device into the pairing mode in response to determining that the predefined amount of time has lapsed.
