The TIDC-01005 is a headless system, like most electronic smart locks. A headless system is one that lacks a traditional user-interface (for example, keyboard, display, and so on) and must, therefore, obtain the SSID and password for the network it connects to using alternate methods. The TIDC-01005 supports multiple provisioning methods, including AP provisioning, SmartConfig from TI, and provisioning over BLE. The CC3220 can run AP provisioning and SmartConfig simultaneously, which saves the user from having to manually switch between the modes. Because the TIDC-01005 lacks a hardware-based coexistence mechanism, BLE provisioning is not enabled during AP and SmartConfig provisioning, and a user must manually switch between the methods.
