Hey All-
I know I can hack a way to make this work and there are a million ways to accomplish this, but I have a scenario where I have multiple RPi+Node.js sensor boxes running the same exact code with different auth tokens. If (When) one of these boxes craps out, I would love a simple way to grab a new sensor box turn it on, and assign it the auth token of the broken box and/or power on the new box, create a new blynk auth token in the app and assign it to the new box via some extremely simple (read: idiot-friendly) mechanism.
I haven’t completely thought out all of the nuances, but my initial thoughts:
- a simple web page that grabs user input and I have the user pop in a qr code with the token embedded or just a text string ( I believe wifi-manager is/was doing something similar to this)
-I’ve also thought about having some sort of ‘default’ token that all of my devices are pre-programmed with and some kind of dashboard that would be able to re-assign auth tokens using a db.
Anyone have an amazingly simple and clever solution?
