Hello! This topic comes out of the second question asked in Shared configuration and custom thing add process regarding customizing Thing scan process. I’d like this topic to become a brainstorming area on the best possible implementation.
So, short recap: a scan requres the user to enter a One-time-password, somehow provided by the hardware.
Of course it’s possible to implement some special kind of a Thing to assist the scan, but i think having to add this Thing , which does not even have a physical representation, does not feel intuitive from user’s perspective. So i am seeking to extend the OpenHab discovery interface.
I see there is already a manual scan functionality. This is good because it fits our scenario. We only need to parametrize it.
The first question is: during manual scan there is an empty screen in the Inbox with a spinner and “Scan in progress” message. Is there currently a way for the binding to do some custom output there, like discovery log?
I am thinking about leveraging this into adding parameters (OTP in my case) entry and “Go” button. Yes, i know, core mod is required for that.
