is a WLAN (client mode) enable/disable via rfid possible?

[kugelzucker]

(i tried searching for this, sorry if dupe)

i finished a phoniebox-build (only procrastinated for a year) this week and now i have one question regarding WLAN.

i am using future3/main (3.2.1) and everything works perfectly, but i cant find a RPC command that i could use with an RFID tag to enable/disale WLAN.

to be clear: i am not talking about the autohotspot function but the box connection in client mode to a known AP on demand.

use case is maintenance and uploading new media when needed (i do that at home, where my wifi is). i want to disable the wifi after this to save some energy, reduce attack surface (unlikely, i know) and most importantly: reduce radiation (SCNR).

Hi, while this feature exists in 2.x it’s not available in Version 3, see https://rpi-jukebox-rfid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/featurelist.html

@s-martin is right. But it should be to hard to implement, though ;-)

I imagine it could go somewhere here

i guess i have to learn python now. at least more than my hello-world-knowledge. BRB.
