OpenEEW Provisioning App

The OpenEEW Provisioning application helps enable an OpenEEW sensor, connect it to a local network, and associate it with your account.

The Android release is available here. The iOS will be available soon.

What does it do

• To connect your new OpenEEW sensor to a WiFi network, it will initially power up and poll for SmartConfig details.
• SmartConfig is a provisioning technology developed by TI to connect a new WiFi device to a WiFi network. It uses a mobile app to broadcast the network credentials from a smartphone, or a tablet, to an un-provisioned WiFi device. The advantage of this technology is that the device does not need to directly know SSID or password of an Access Point (AP). This information is provided using this smartphone app. This is particularly important to headless device and systems, due to their lack of a user interface.
• This Android application prompts you for your WiFi SSID and password and sends it to the OpenEEW device via SmartConfig.
• It also asks you to register your new OpenEEW device so you can view earthquake accelerometer data in the cloud.

Configuration

This app uses dotenv in order to manage environment variables

In order to apply environment variables; duplicate the .env.example file as .env, and overwrite the values in that file.

Building the App

This provisioning app is built on Flutter.

Local Build

In order to run it locally:

• Install Flutter on your local machine

• Get dependencies

  flutter pub get

• Ensure you have a device connected

  flutter devices

(NB this app will run in the web without a device, but due to the nature of the functionality, very little of it will work in the web environment.)

• Compile and run

  flutter run

Build for App Store

In order to create a signed app bundle for the play store:

• update pubspec.yaml' with the latest version, eg for version 1.0.1 :

version: 1.0.1+1

• add the path to the signed key in /android/key.properties

• run

  flutter build appbundle
