Hi Michael,
So if you don't mind, I'll be
creating GitHub "issues" for following those improvements, in
order to describe, plan, document, follow the progress on
those ideas.
Regarding WiFi, the idea would be
more like the "mesh" mode ; but with different SSIDs.
Say you have a list of different
SSIDs / password. The device should try to connect to the
first one in the config. If unable to connect, or if the RSSI
steadily falls below a certain minimum, it will try the next
in order in the config. Then when it reaches the end of the
list, it cycles back to the start. Or optionally it should try
to connect via modem connection (but I'd make this a config
option also) - and if this one drops also, back to wifi APs
list.
(RSSI level should be a config item
also).
Use-case is the following:
I have a vehicle under test ; it
has a OVMS on-board. The test pilot does some different
journeys. Some starting from "home", ending at "shop A". Then
from "shop A" to "shop B". etc... and back to "home".
It's not possible (and not wanted)
to have all these locations set up with the same SSID /
Password. So it could be interesting to have OVMS able to
connect to each different AP.
(Automatically - the test pilot is
not expected to deal with OVMS configuration)
Scanning mode seems (I have not
fully tested all the configuration) to be able to list the
visible APs ; but it seems there is no provision to configure
passwords for multiple one ? Let me know if I understood it
incorrectly.
Regards,
