[Enhancement] Wifi scan and connection

LucBerge commented 3 years ago

It would be nice to be able to:

Scan Wifis
Get all the informations about distant Wifis
Connect to a Wifi
Disconnect from the current Wifi

I know how to do it using:

The /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to reference all the known Wifis ssid and password.
Hash the password using the wpa_passphrase command.
Enable/Disable the wifi using the sudo ifconfig wlan0 up or sudo ifconfig wlan0 down command.
Reboot the wifi using the sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure command.

I can help you on that but I need your opinion. Do you authorize bash wrappers ? Thanks

Hello Luc, thanks for your idea. It doesn't look like a core-pi4j feature but could be an extra/separate Java module. Will take a look again when we move on with V2 of Pi4J.

I guess it would be better to create a ticket on the v2 repository ? https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j-v2/issues
