1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
initiating an initial configuration process for configuring a second device, the initial configuration process including a sequential display of a plurality of different user interfaces corresponding to a plurality of different operations in the initial configuration process, an order of the sequential display of the plurality of different user interfaces being predefined by the electronic device, wherein at least one of the plurality of different user interfaces requests user confirmation that a connection should be made to the second device; and
during the initial configuration process and the sequential display of the plurality of different user interfaces and before providing an indication that the initial configuration process is complete:
displaying, on the display, a configuration user interface that is included in the plurality of different user interfaces and that includes a prompt to select a location, the prompt indicating that the selected location will be assigned to the second device;
receiving user input indicating selection of a respective location;
in response to receiving the user input indicating selection of the respective location, configuring the second device to be assigned to the respective location;
detecting an audio tone signal indicative of a pairing handshake with the second device; and
in response to detecting the audio tone signal, proceeding to a next step in the initial configuration process for configuring the second device.
