Ever had that situation that you want to share your WiFi credentials with your family or your friends and of course the QR code is gone again. Or you like to change your password from time to time, like I do and you are not willing to print the QR code every time. I’ve a little addon for your HomeAssisant to solve that problem.
With the custom card I created it’s pretty easy to maintain the access to your guest wifi. You only need to insert the credentials in the configuration of the card and a QR Code Card is generated, the SSID and the password is displayed.
Installation
To make this custom card available in your HASS instance you have to have HACS available. Follow these instructions for installation: Click here
After that, of if HACS is already available navigate the frontend part of your HACS and hit the three dots on the top right corner. Then click on Custom repositories and add the following URL:https://github.com/PoebelPogge/guest-wifi-card
As Category choose: Lovelace
If everything work out fine you’ll see a new entry like that in the overview:
Usage
Navigate to the dashboard you want to add the QR Card to and then add a new card by searching for QR Card. You’ll see the choice: Custom: show wifi qr code.
Click on that and then type in a title, your SSID and your password, afterwards, you’ll see the QR Card on your dashboard.
If you change your Wifi password, you just have to update the Wifi credentials.
If you want to configure the QR Card by yaml add that to your dashboard config:
type: custom:guest-wifi-card
ssid: MyWifiName // SSID Name
entity: pa$$w0rd // WifiPassword
header: Guest Wifi // Title of your cardWhats left?
Things which will follow in the future updates:
- Fix config variable names
- Different Wifi Types like WEP, WPA, WPA3
- Show and Hide Button
- Use entities as SSID and password source
