Connecting to Wifi using WPS, instead of typing the passphrase

1st Official Post

    I am using LibreELEC 8.2.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3.

    When setting it up I am asked for the Wifi Passphrase, which is in my case a very long string.

    Is it possible to use WPS for setting up the connection somehow in LibreELEC?

    Is this possible with Raspberry i,e, Raspbian in general? Headless wifi via push button WPS - Raspberry Pi Forums

    Do you plan to implement it?

    This would be handy escpecially when using the raspberry in change environment as potable media player.

    Yet another suggestion for the first start / setup wizard;

    What do you think about requesting the user first to specify the keyboard layout / locale before setting up wifi. This could prevent obstacles which you will in case QWERTY is mixed up with QWERTZ layout.

    And btw. what you have created here is awesome. So simple to setup and use... I can't believe it

    Connect via Ethernet (temporarily) and run:

    connmanctl

    agent on

    scan wifi

    services

    connect <name of service>

    Copy/paste the password string when required.

    WPS could technically be supported, but there is currently no support in our settings add-on for it, and that's unlikely to change.
