3. , MAC address and UUID, device specific secrets, and displayed titles;a device information database 3164 for storing device information related to one or more devices such as device profiles 3165, e. g. , device identifiers and hub device specific secrets, independently of whether the corresponding hub devices have been associated with any user account; andan event information database 3166 for storing event information such as event records 3168, e. g. , event log information, event categories, and the like. Each of the above identified elements may be stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices, and corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs i. e. , sets of instructions need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise rearranged in various implementations. In some implementations, the memory 306, optionally, stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above.
