There probably isn't a need for a custom SSID based on MAC or other serialization; that would only be necessary if configuring multiple modules at the same time in the same place. Use case?
Yep. My thoughts exactly.
it might be a good idea to have a required step of the configuration procedure be to force a passkey change and re-connect on the part of the user.
Yep. If we ask them to specify the AP name, and new password, then that resolves both problems.
If things get messed up or forgotten, can't the module be reset to factory with some button sequence? I asked that regarding my /store issue, but never heard back.
We have two buttons: Hardwired RESET. That resets the chip. IO0 BOOT. If held during BOOT, that goes into firmware download mode. So, only #2 is usable, and that only after boot. I guess we could have a boot delay to allow time for it to be pressed after power up. But, that would require opening up the case to get to the button. Nasty. Plugging it into a PC is probably easier? Regards, Mark.

Hi Mark,
I like the idea of being able to configure the module by the internal website via AP mode WiFi. That's about as close to a universal interface as exists on the planet right now.

But if we have the wifi open (or fixed key) out of the box, it might be a good idea to have a required step of the configuration procedure be to force a passkey change and re-connect on the part of the user. That way, the car can't be controlled until it's configured, and once configured it won't have the default AP passkey.

Regarding the password, not all modules will have ICCID. The MAC address is not externally visible. Maybe just have the access point named OVMS.<last-bit-of-mac> and password OVMS? Then provide a facility in the web UI to be able to change that password?
