We have designed a product around the Boron and have deployed it successfully. Our customer is asking if we could make a WiFi only version. When we originally designed the product, I did use the Argon for some testing purposes. The product we designed has the Boron sealed in an enclosure and no way for the customer to press any of the buttons. If I can recall, to get the Argon to connect to WiFi it was necessary to press the buttons on the module to put into some form of mode where a user could select the WiFi that was available and then send over the WiFi password.
I did find the Argon to P2 Migration guide but I didn't see instructions as how I would get the device to connect to WiFi.
Are there any instructions for how to get the Photon 2 to connect to WiFi that I am missing?
In our application, our cellular version has already been activated at the factory before being sealed up. We don't know where the products will end up. With cellular, once powered the unit will connect to whatever local cell signal is available.
With WiFi, I think our product would already be sealed and no means of connecting via USB or pushing buttons on the device. That is why I was wondering what functionality could be used to tell the Photon 2 to use X-WiFi (customer's local WiFi) and here is the password.
One solution for button-less and cable-less configuration is using a mobile app with Wi-Fi provisioning via BLE. That's included in the WI-Fi configuration options page.
