Use nearby bluetooth devices as user token just like RFID cards #17

Open bs-github opened 1 year ago

bs-github commented 1 year ago

It may be cool to use the proximity of nearby bluetooth devices as a way to authorise charging.

I'm not sure if this is in any way secure, but that is not an important point, because nobody has to use such a feature.

Solution in mind

It should be quite easy to scan for bluetooth devices nearby periodically and inject device IDs nearby just like RFID IDs into the RFID- / user- modules.

Maybe this is not feasible at all

I've not done any research on how often i.e. a smartphone sends a bluetooth ID or if there are any other blockers that make this idea totally not worth it. If you know any blockers for this, please comment.
