Current Implementation
Following this documentation, a user would experience:

  1. IR Blaster is started in AP mode, creating a network called BroadlinkProv or similar
  2. User connects their computer to this WIFI network
  3. Issue the CLI command: broadlink-bridge connect -w wifi_name -p wifi_password -s 3
  4. Console will display Attempting to Connect to WIFI. Sending Payload: ...
  5. IR Blaster will shut down AP mode and switch to trying to join the specified WIFI network
  6. User's computer will disconnect from IR Blaster and reconnect to nearby WIFI network

Problems Observed

  • The user does not know if the Blaster is connected to their WIFI network
  • The user does not know if the API server is able to communicate with the Blaster
  • The user may be connected to a different wifi network than the one they specified

Proposed Solutions

  • The user should be notified when the Blaster is connected to the WIFI network
  • The user should be notified if the server is able to communicate with the Blaster
  • The user should be notified if they are connected to the wrong WIFI network
    • Alt. user's computer should be automatically connected to the specified WIFI
