1. A system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving a device identifier associated with an electronic device, the electronic device having a first security token for securing a connection between the electronic device and one or more devices;
receiving first data indicating a first device to be associated with the electronic device;
receiving, from the first device, second data indicating that a wireless beacon has been received from the electronic device at the first device;
detecting, utilizing audio data associated with the electronic device, that the audio data includes a user-made non-speech acoustic event predefined to be associated with user presence in an environment in which the first device resides;
determining that a device state change has occurred with respect to the electronic device within a period of time from when the wireless beacon has been received;
determining, based at least in part on detecting the user-made non-speech acoustic event and the device state change occurring, that a human user is physically present in the environment; and
sending, in response to determining that the human user is present and receiving the second data from the first device, a command to the first device, the command configured to cause the first device to establish a secure wireless connection with the electronic device while the electronic device is present in the environment.
