A method for pre-commissioning a new device for an end-user's automation system, the method comprising: (a) receiving a request to pre-commission the new device for the end-user's automation system; (b) generating a personalized device setup for the new device based on usage patterns corresponding to past usage of one or more existing devices in the end-user's automation system; (c) pre-commissioning the new device via a wireless link based on the personalized device setup while the new device is remote from the end-user's automation system, such that, when the pre-commissioned new device is powered on within the end-user's automation system, the pre-commissioned new device operates within the end-user's automation system without the need for any further configuration by the end user and without the need for any local commissioning by the end-user's automation system; and (d) logically adding the new device into the end-user's automation system in order to pre-commission the new device while the new device is remote from the end-user's automation system.
