QR scanner Spec

[cdupont]

This is a small specification for the QR scanner feature. The idea of the QR codes is to be able to:

• print QR codes to stick on devices and gateways
• scan QR codes to open the Cloud dashboard

Display QR codes

• QR codes should be displayed in a modal window.
• A new button that opens the QR code modal window should be added in the "device details" page and the "gateway details" page

Read QR codes

• The QR code should be readable using any reader.
• The Waziup dashboard should include a reader
• Reading a QR code will open the corresponding device page, if the device exists.
• If the device doesn't exist, reading the QR code will open the device creation window.

QR code format

The QR code format should be the following:

<URL of the device>

Or for gateways:

<URL of the gateway>

For example:

https://dashboard.waziup.io/devices/ARBIT-TESTS_Sensor2

This format allows the user to use a standard QR code scanners and directly open the device on the Waziup dashboard. In the case the device is not existing, the dashboard will propose to create it.
