This would be a great way to set up an IoT device. It is usually quite time consuming to initialize a new device - negotiating bluetooth, downloading the corresponding app, setting up Alexa integrations, etc. If I could just hold my phone playing a sound that tells the device my WiFi password, I could be up and running in a minute or less.
- slimsag 6y agoMany Chinese WiFi security cameras sold on Amazon do this today. Namely Yi Home security cameras. Others use QR bar-codes, which I think is better for security cameras - but nonetheless the Yi Home ones do it through sound exactly as you described.
- primitivesuave 6y agoThank you for the perspective! I remember back in the day I would rig a photo resistor to an Arduino so I could flash instructions to it with an LED without needing to reprogram.
