4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the sensing device detects at least one of the following: temperature, humidity, motion, light, water, smoke, acceleration, global positioning, voltage, current, and power.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the device includes an electroacoustic transducer device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processing device includes a controller.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the authentication/connection software is a firmware.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising authentication/connection software that establishes communication between an electronic device and a targeted device, comprising logic of:

instructing a device of an electronic device to transmit audible or visual signals to a computing device, wherein the computing device receives the audible or visual signals, wherein the audible or visual signals include a unique identification code associated with the electronic device, wherein the computing device transmits to the targeted device the unique identification code in accordance with a Bluetooth® communication protocol;

instructing a wireless device of the electronic device to transmit and receive Bluetooth® signals having the unique identification code to and from the targeted device, wherein the targeted device transmits to and receives from the wireless device

Bluetooth® signals including the unique identification code associated with the electronic device; and

establishing an authenticated communication between a first authentication/connection software at the electronic device and a second authentication/connection software at the targeted device in a same Bluetooth® network based on received Bluetooth® signals having the unique identification code, wherein the electronic device transmits sensor data in connection with a sensing device at the electronic device to the targeted device via the same Bluetooth® network, wherein the targeted device processes the sensor data and transmits processed sensor data to the computing device via the same Bluetooth® network.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising logic of instructing the computing device to receive the audible signals from the electronic device by way of a microphone that captures and stores the audible signals.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising logic of transmitting the unique identification code to the targeted device via the computing device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising logic of communicating between the electronic device and a network via the targeted device, wherein the targeted device is a gateway.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising logic of communicating between the electronic device and a computing device via the network.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , further comprising logic of communicating between the electronic device and the computing device via the network based on signals from the sensing device at the electronic device.

14. A targeted device that connects with an electronic device comprising:

a wireless device that transmits and receives Bluetooth® signals to allow connectivity and collaboration between the electronic device and the targeted device;
