Apparatus and method for seamless commissioning of wireless devices

An electronic device includes a first processor; a first commissioning element to communicate with external devices using wireless communication and a first memory storing programs for commissioning a target device onto a wireless local area network (WLAN). The WLAN has configuration data including a WLAN identifier and a network key. The programs provide a user interface for commissioning the target device. The target device includes a second processor, a second wireless radio, and a second commissioning element to receive the WLAN configuration data. The target device decodes the WLAN configuration data to commission the target device onto the WLAN. The electronic device sends the WLAN configuration data to the target device and receives confirmation that the target device has successfully connected to the WLAN. The electronic device displays the success in a user interface.
