WiFi portal UX improvements #18

Closed ryanckulp closed 1 month ago

ryanckulp commented 1 month ago

great work on the new WiFi portal! much prettier.

today i set up v1.3.0 and have a few suggestions:

  1. "Scanning networks, please wait..." was a bit slow; maybe we can animate this a bit (loader / spinner, or simply fade in/out the text)
  2. when networks appeared in a list, there were duplicates (see below). my "house" network was shown 3x, perhaps this is each of my 3x mesh network access points? in any case let's consider deduping by SSID name and show only the strongest (highest RSSI value) of each SSID variant?
  3. both of my TRMNL devices auto-updated to v1.3.0, so both were broadcasting a "TRMNL" SSID. it would be nice to hide our own networks to prevent users from "connect to TRMNL Wifi... then connect to TRMNL Wifi..." infinitee loop UX confusion

duplicate SSIDs + TRMNL SSID

dupe-ssids

All TRMNLs will hidden in networks list(will available from next version)

In progress

When the TRMNL SSID is generated I would use something like TRMNLABCD where the last digits are the last 4 MAC address digits or similar. Makes it easier to identify multiple devices.

I would also have the above as I have a MESH system in my flat.
