Replace setup experience with Improv WiFi #40

The setup is kinda cool, but improv would probably be better long term see https://github.com/improv-wifi/sdk-cpp

aeroniemi commented 6 months ago

There are challenges to this:

improv doesn't allow setting anything other than wifi ssid/password, so we'd still need another solution for timezone/ha integration
could get timezone from home assistant i guess
might also be able to get data from home assistant in a better way

aeroniemi commented 6 months ago

there is a way to authenticate with home assistant through oauth2 and the websocket api - i guess we could write something to do that, which may then remove the need for the web ui

aeroniemi commented 6 months ago

steps required to make this happen:

remove the web UI/setup experience
setup improv wifi
setup a espwebtool instance
setup mdns (see https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-protocols/mdns/docs/latest/en/index.html)
create an oauth thing to auth with HA
setup websockets to get a long lived token
profit

steps 2 and 3 are done, 4 doesn't seem to be needed. 6 is no longer needed, 5 is figured out
