The M5 doesn’t have an ethernet port, but we can simulate IP connection by giving the device wifi credentials. Currently, devices with wifi credentials assume they have been provisioned, thus it is necessary to put the device back into commissioning mode explicitly.
Compile the device image as follows
Demo->Device Type = <as required>
Demo->Rendezvous Mode = “BLE / On-Network” or “On-Network”
Component config-> Chip Device Layer -> WiFi Station Options - set up ssid and password
Component config-> Chip Device Layer -> Commissioning Options -> Use full IP-based commissioning = 1
Demo->Rendezvous Mode = “BLE / On-Network” or “On-Network”
- this just controls the QR code flags and is only required if you wish to connect using the QR code
Component config-> Chip Device Layer -> WiFi Station Options - set up ssid and password
- gives the device wifi access to simulate an on-network setup
Component config-> Chip Device Layer -> Commissioning Options -> Use full IP-based commissioning = 1
- instructs the device to wait for the commissioning complete command before doing rendezvous cleanup and recording
Once the device is running, go to Setup -> Force wifi commissioning to put the device into commissioning mode.
gn gen out/debug
ninja -C out/debug
As with the M5, This will set up the QR code with the proper flags and will instruct the device to wait for the commissioning complete command to cleanup and record.
These devices should start in commissioning mode naturally and requires no manual intervention
The controller builds with IP commissioning support by default, but you can turn it on or off using
scripts/build_python.sh --clusters_for_ip_commissioning <true/false>
There are two ways to connect via IP: Discover then connect ip
discover -all
or
discover -qr “[qrcode]”
then
connect -ip <address from above> <setup pin code> [<node id>]
It is no longer necessary to run resolve after connect - this is done as part of the commissioning process
Connect using the QR code
connect -qr “[qr code]”
This will discover, connect over IP with the code from the QR and resolve. It does, however, require that the QR code flags are set properly.
