A method (500) of configuring a device that is to be added to a wireless network system is disclosed. The method (500) comprises: receiving (502) a signal indicative of that the device has been ordered by a user, receiving (504) device information about the ordered device, wherein the device information comprises at least information indicative of a type of the ordered device, generating (506) a virtual counterpart of the ordered device based on the device information, storing (508) the virtual counterpart in a memory, receiving (510), at a system controller of the wireless network system, one or more wireless signals from a newly added device that has been added to the wireless network system, wherein the one or more wireless signals are indicative of device information of the newly added device, wherein the device information of the newly added device comprises at least information indicative of a type of the newly added device, comparing (512) the device information of the newly added device with the device information of the ordered device to determine if the device information of the newly added device corresponds with the device information of the ordered device, and, if the device information of the newly added device corresponds with the device information of the ordered device, associating (514) the virtual counterpart with the newly added device.
