Hi @jmarcelino I' m developping an NFC interface with the NTAG I2C from NXP, so you can transfer the necessary informations with your phone.

@jmarcelino Sounds interesting. Any chance for the code? ;o)

We've been successful with this flow:

GPy first boots in "setup mode": WiFi is in WLAN.AP with your product name as SSID
Setup mode also starts a small micro webserver
Users connects phone/computer to this setup SSID and opens browser to 192.168.4.1 for example
Micro webserver scans for nearby WiFi networks and shows webpage with this list for user to select
Corresponding WiFi password is also requested
The SSID and Password are recorded and GPy re-initializes into main script using the new stored settings.

Bluetooth is another option but as you say you'd need to write mobile apps to support it. We don't yet have a generic app that works for this.
