camera-qr-wifi
Read QR from camera and connect to WiFi if possible.
Usecase
- I want to have a hidden SSID with a very long password, but I need it to be easy to add new devices to the network
- Tools to encode SSID and password into a QR code are readily available
- On a mobile phone, you can use Barcode Scanner or iOS camera to scan this QR code and get a prompt to connect to the WiFi network
- On a laptop or Macbook there does not seem a convenient solution for this
Limitations
- We expect the format of the QR code contents to follow ZXing reader guidelines
- Cross-platform is implemented with executing platform specific commands based on
os.name - Only OS X platform implemented for now
Execution
With Maven
If you don't want to mess with building it into a JAR, you could clone and execute with Maven. Provided you have JDK 8+ and Maven installed, you should be able to do:
git clone git@github.com:edemen/camera-qr-wifi.git
cd camera-qr-wifi
mvn install
mvn exec:java
