A system for pairing wireless nodes includes a plurality of device nodes,
such as lamp nodes, a plurality of sensor nodes, such as light switch
nodes, and a context manager node. Each of the device nodes, the sensor
nodes and the context manager node includes a first communication channel
having radio frequency signals and a diverse second communication channel
including wireless non-radio frequency signals. Some of the device nodes
and the sensor nodes are adapted to collect context information of a
corresponding communication environment and to transfer the collected
context information to the context manager node. The context manager node
is adapted to employ the collected context information and enable
automated distributed pairing of a first node of the device nodes and
sensor nodes with another second node of the device nodes and sensor
nodes.
