1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for activating an internet of things (IoT) device, the method comprising:
causing a user device to establish a wireless communication between the user device and the IoT device, wherein the IoT device is operating in an activation mode;
subsequent to the wireless communication being established, receiving a request from the IoT device to activate the IoT device; and
based on the received request from the IoT device, launching a user device service provider application, wherein the user device service provider application:
establishes a connection with a user account associated with the user device;
retrieves IoT device information from the IoT device;
using the IoT device information and the user account, activates the IoT device on the user account;
causing the user account to communicate with a third party account associated with the IoT device;
following the activation of the IoT device on the user account, causing the service provider application to automatically activate the IoT device with the third party account associated with the IoT device allowing the third party account to monitor the IoT device; and
communicates IoT activation information with the IoT device based on the activation of the IoT device.
