Would this make sense for people who do not own a smartfone, but have access to WIFI somewhere? Think of a small device that one can carry arround like a dosimeter. Any suggestions?

@williwipfel not that easy possible :(

You need access to a Google API e.g. a VM or an Emulator running Android. The TANs that are generated to send to other devices are generated with a closed source tool.

Google added some limits. e.g. you need to wait some time until you can create the next Token.

This needs to be solved somehow - my idea is to use a REST API to a VM (Android-x86) or an Emulator. I have no POC for this. So have fun about investigating.

Have a look at https://simmel.betrusted.io

Also, to experiment, you could use https://github.com/mh-/exposure-notification-ble-python - but at the moment this cannot upload your TEKs in case you are infected. However, it seem to be possible to upload TEKs if you have a valid TAN, see here: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-documentation/issues/169

Dear @williwipfel, thanks for bringing in this idea. However, we are focussing here on the scope which is outlined in the respective document. Hardware solutions are currently out of scope for this project. Therefore, we need to close this issue here.

Thank you for your understanding!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards, SW Corona Warn-App Open Source Team
