Frustration-Free Setup (FFS)

Frustration-Free Setup (FFS) simplifies the process of pairing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Zigbee devices and setting up smart speakers. FFS enables a Wi-Fi device to automatically complete the pairing process, connect to Amazon Alexa, and link with the user’s Amazon Alexa account.

Pairing process

• After the device is powered on, it generates a random SSID and sends probe frames.

• The Amazon Echo speaker creates a hidden access point (AP) using the SSID in the received probe frame.

• The device requests the credentials for the user’s Wi-Fi network from the WSS cloud.

• The device connects to the user’s Wi-Fi network and then completes the activation process.
