Greetings, I was a bit surprised that there is not a cli category. Anyway. I am working to setup WiFi on many Photons using the cli and particle serial wifi. My question: Is there a way to use this command, or one like it, to setup WiFi and not use the wizard, simply pass the needed parameters o…

You can do this without CLI at all, just by placing the device in Listening Mode and send the w command followed by the respective settings.

And how would that not be possible that way?

It is possible that way. Here is how I am using that interface to connect a photon to Wi-Fi: setupWifi() { if ls -1 /dev/cu.usbmodem* 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then MODEM=$(ls -1 /dev/cu.usbmodem*) else MODEM="NONE" fi if [[ "$MODEM" == "NONE" ]]; then echo "No device found" > /dev/n…

Not exactly sure what you mean by w command. Is there a reference you can point to so I may read how I may interact with the Photon in listening mode? Thank you

Hi @brettski

I’m trying to acheive the same thing.

Currently I am experimenting with the reliablity of echoing the wifi credentials directly to the device file and it is working well.
