AUTOMATIC PAIRING RECOVERY BETWEEN ZIGBEE DEVICES

During operation, the computer system (such as a controller) may receive, from an access point, information specifying an electronic device that has the connection with the access point. Then, based at least in part on the information, the computer system may store a mapping between the electronic device and the access point. Moreover, the computer system may receive, from the access point or a second access point, a notification message, where the notification message is associated with an orphan notification of the electronic device. Next, in response to receiving the notification message, the computer system may perform a look-up operation for the electronic device in the stored mapping. Furthermore, when the electronic device is included in the stored mapping, the computer system may selectively provide, to the access point and based at least in part on the stored mapping, second information specifying the electronic device.
