Indeed. We had one customer who said flat out "the only tools that my
installers
know how to use are a sledge hammer and a blowtorch."
We brainstormed ideas about having shock or temperature sensors in the
devices
to initiate pairing:
1) install sensors and gateway
2) apply blowtorch to gateway and sensors within 10 seconds of each
other to effect
security exchange and network binding

Customers do not want to touch the devices with any tools.
That's the whole point of having an online enrollment or imprinting process.
If you can skip the joining process, then you don't need EBs at all.
