Wifi Kodu
Hilke Mcnally
I am unable to connect my genie app with my wifi on my iphone. I have opened up the wifi tab on the app and filled out appropiate headings , i was unsure what to do with the QR scan and looked it up on line and followed step 1-3 but when it came to step 4 it said the following " your wireless settings will appear along with the QR code at the bottom" then step 5 Scan the code from your mobile device to connect to your wifi.
not sure how i am meant to scan my iphone QR code when it is on my iphone does not make sense -can someone please help. Please note i also have downloaded app onto my computer this is connecting fine.
The QR code an be used to share the wireless configuration to some friends or visitors, the feature to load a wireless config from a QR code is not often implemented, it's not available by default neither on iOS nor on Android.
Again, this is not to connect the Genie App to the router - much more this is the place where you can change the WIFi Name, Network Key (misleadingly named password), the router AP security, and select the channel to be used.
However, at this point I would guess the mobile is connected, the Genie App is authenticated and can talk to the router - otherwise this conrol would not become accessible.
Beyond of some 3rd party Apps, you might be able to use the Genie App on another mobile device, select QR Scanner - this should allow to read and set the wireless config accordingly, permitting to connect the other device to the router WiFi.
I wanted to make a recommendation for a quick method for helping guests get on your WiFi. Guests have really liked that I had this device where they can just tap their phone on the top and instantly be logged into the internet. I also used the process in the following link to create a QR code that guests can scan to instantly connect to the wireless. -tips/how-to-share-home-network-info-with-qr-code/
I think connecting to the WiFi is one of the first things that people have to do when they arrive, and so making that process as simple as possible will hopefully start their visit off on a good foot.
@Jeff2616 This would be a total waste of money for Airbnb hosts. Our guests have the internet name and password in the Airbnb app so just click on this when they arrive at our place and they connect automatically. I can only assume your guests didn't think to use what Airbnb supply.
I can see you've only being hosting a month so may not be familiar with the platform @Jeff2616 guests don't need this they can access all the information they need including wifi access via their booking confirmation.
I never expected such a harsh and negative response to sharing a simple recommendation for a product/process that my guests have mentioned they enjoyed. I don't see a reason to continue engaging in this community if these are the type of response offered. One note - Only the owner of the Airbnb account will have the automatic WiFi access you mentioned. Many times not all guests are logged into the renter's account or familiar with the Airbnb WiFi log-in on the App and so by offering multiple options a host can better accommodate a variety of guests. Best of luck with your rentals.
- Not only is the tap device a one time expense that is simple and inexpensive but it also enhances the customer experience by making the check-in process quicker, reduces effort and potential guest error.
@Mike-And-Jane0 and @Helen3 - I agree with @Jeff2616. There was no need to express your opinions in such dismissive verbiage. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it is important to remain open minded and understand that not everyone's situation is the same.
In my case, my cottage is in a valley with limited cell phone reception and sleeps 14 guests. Relying on the booked host to share the wifi password and house rules is less than ideal. They are often not even the first ones to arrive at the cottage plus sharing anything to a group of 14 tired people is never fun.
to imply I am not open minded because I don't want to pay for an app because Airbnb already provides a facility for sharing wifi for guests is a rather personal, unnecessary remark . I was trying to help. Your response wasn't.
I am sorry you saw my post trying to help as harsh and negative @Jeff2616 as a new host I genuinely thought you may not have realised wifi details are available to guests on their booking confirmation/or can be if the host sets up their listing that way.
i am making a project of standalone ESP8266 with single channel relay with a synced physical button. the code works fine. i just want to run the code if there is no internet or wifi is off.
The code does not run without Internet.
here is my code
I have successfully did it, Thank you so much for your help, wish i could buy you a cup of coffee . This code works like a charm on stand alone esp8266 with single channel relay with sync button state and also physcial button connected to gpio 2 + GND (push button). Whether wifi is off or there is no internet it works and when internet comes back it reconnects to blynk server. i hope this code will help many many people. Thanks a bunch. here is picture of my prototype project, i am going to build more for my smart home.

Life gets much easier when you have one gateway which talks to Blynk, and then multiple devices which talk to that gateway - using MQTT messaging.
Yes, you still need to deal with situations where the devices cant connect to the MQTT server and you want them to operate in stand-alone ,mode, but this scenario happens less often that an internet outage, and the re-connection routines can be much more seamless.
This approach makes integration with other services, such as Amazon Alexa Zigbee, cloud services etc much simpler. It also makes Blynk simply an app interface, rater than the core functionality within the system. This makes it easier to either swap to a different app front-end, or have multiple user interface systems such as Nextion touch screens - which give you almost unlimited user interface design options.
I think at the moment the solution for me is to install the local blynk server on a raspberry so that there is no problem when I lose the internet, the code does not block. And to use remotely I will try to use the Blynk API to update the app.
Can you describe a bit more about your use case? Keep in mind that your guests wouldn't be able to connect to the router to get the QR code in the first place if they don't have the password to connect to the SSID, so unless you are pulling it up for them on your own device, a QR code displayed on the router doesn't do all that much good.
There are online and app-based QR code generators, though... so you could easily generate an image that you could save on your phone or print out for your guests to scan. Here is one such site (from a quick Google search)
The guest wifi password changes every night with a random generated 12 character string. A QR-code is generated on the Luci login page and also a simple text file in the www folder with the QR-code payload. The ESP8266 (nodemcu) together with a ST7789 LCD-screen refreshes the payload over the main wifi and the display generates a QR-code which a phone can scan.
I can confirm that a desktop file with x-scheme-handler/wifi does pick up the not-quite uri when launched from CodeReader. I also found a thing or three about how the network settings avoid dbus when launching the settings app. Maybe swing by IRC and we can sync efforts?
I use the same wifi for my desktop, my mobile and my tablet. So all these devices use the same network with the same IP-address to the outside.
From my mobile and my tablet as well as from the firefox-plugin for bitwarden I can connect to my Bitwarden Vault without any issues.
But when I try to use the desktop application, then I get this error about the unusual traffic. But the issue cannot be, that my IP is blocked for unusual traffic as all the other devices/application can connect using this IP.
So what is going on here?
We keep getting an error code that we are not connected to the internet. However, Roku shows the internet connection is strong and I am able to connect to the internet on other devices. The Roku and router have both been restarted multiple times. Everything has been turned off and turned back on. Password has been checked. Still could not connect. Now getting an error code 6. Any advice?
I'm having the same issue with Roku express, even did a factory reset but still won't connect to wifi that is working well. This has been going on for two days. We also have a Roku TV, no issues with that connecting.
For the past several months my internet has been terrible. it either runs at 20-30mps or it stops competetly. Red code 14.1.1. I go and repower the modem. Somteimes it fixes itself after 15-20 mins. Sometimes it might take mutiple restarts over an hour or more.
I have called tech support probably 5-6 times. Each call takes close to an hour or more. One time they told me it was the modem, but they wanted to wait till it happened again. I call when it is out, and believe it or not it ususally changes to a green 0.0.0 while i am calling! Then then tell me that since it is working then, they cannot replace the modem. Amazingly frustrating.
Thank you for reaching out to us again. State code 14.1.1 means there is no connection on the LAN port or rather there is nothing plugged into the modem directly via Ethernet. This has nothing to do with the functionality of your service or performance. It will cycle between 14.1.1 and 0.0.0 which is very normal showing the system is fully operational and nothing is directly plugged in. Also 20-30mbps is well within normal speed range unless you are on a fusion plan. In order for me to take a deeper look since you mention "intermittent internet", please private message me the phone number associated with your account and I will run remote diagnostics. You can send me that information by clicking this link -to-user-id/76644 . While I do that, if you could explain what you mean by "Intermittent internet" that would help a lot and narrow down the problem. -Damian
