Patent ID: 10743392

Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments. In various embodiments, a computing device (1350, 1450, 1550) seeking to verify credentials of a lighting system controller (1352, 1452, 1552) may obtain unverified credentials of the lighting system controller. The computing device may transmit, to a first remote device via a first network communication channel, a request to verify the unverified credentials. The computing device may receive verification from the first remote device or a second remote device via a second network communication channel. The second network communication channel may be different than the first network communication channel. The computing device may compare the unverified credentials to the verification data and verify, based on the comparing, that the unverified credentials are legitimate. Based on the verification, the computing device may establish a lighting information communication channel between the computing device and the lighting system controller.
