This is the same process that iRobot does to connect their Roomba cleaners. Is it done over Bluetooth maybe?
- LukeShu 5y agoThe Roomba setup procedure, at least for the 600 series, has the Roomba broadcast a WiFi network that the app has your phone temporarily join.
- judge2020 5y agoThere are a few methods for unknown device connections, but it's usually one of, or a combination of: - a special qr code format that informs an app about the wifi network/wifi password (and other setup info) - an app scans your wifi networks and joins the one that starts with the device's prefix (not supported on iOS except via a special api[0]) - app requests bluetooth permission, connects to the bluetooth accessory, and from there it exchanges temporary wifi AP info or does the entire setup over BLE 0: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1942/_index.html https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1942/_index...
