Trying to provision device for WiFi access
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:31 pm
Hello, everyone!
I am currently trying to finish a mobile app that has changed scope. Previously the app just communicated via its own WiFi connection to a hosted database. Works perfectly.
Now the customer wants me to use the app to set up the initial connection between an external device and the WiFi, so that the device can communicate to the database the information the app is currently reading.
I need to do the following:
1) Connect to the external device, which is WiFi capable
2) Communicate the current WiFi SSID (network name/password) to the device so it can be stored on the external device.
The customer compares this process to the standard setup of “blink” cameras and “ring” doorbells.
I have no idea where to start... can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Of course, this was due “yesterday”—hahahaha!
I really appreciate any guidance on this process.
