Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Sure! that's easy too. When a known client connects to your network, UniFi will send that user to your custom portal with their mac address, as per my last message, nothing new here. When you receive that mac address, look the user up by mac address in your database, if you find it, before askin

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Neat, thanks Adrian! Curious - do you know if it's possible to only do that authentication once? Essentially, once a device's mac is registered, can the hotspot portal let people connect without additional logins in the future, so long as the device is known? -- *The #1 mistake i

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Adrian - yep, we've worked pretty extensively with the API, but that doesn't *really* help tie a specific device's MAC address to it's owners' account. Pretty sure that's where something like a captive portal is needed, right? -- *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it b

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

@Alex, slight side-answer. Unify controllers have a great API that exposes every imaginable piece of data about connected clients and your network. Docs from Ubiquiti are pretty poor but this project and its source provides a quick way to get

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Slight side-consideration, but I'd be curious of accounts from anybody using *network access* to assist with check-ins/attendance? We have are using Unifi for our network management and the latest versions have a rather robust captive portal (sign in to get online) setup, but I haven't had a chanc

Re: [Coworking] Re: How RFID reader writer works?

Ha, well, @Jacob J thanks for the vote of confidence, but I still only followed half of what you wrote in your most recent reply. We are quite low tech at the moment - handling our check-ins manually (yup, that's me, sitting at reception). I do like the daily fac-to-face with the members. I th

If you're up for it, Scott, I might suggest sharing a link to download the document directly here with the list so that everyone doesn't have to message the whole list to get it ;) -Alex -- *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Better Coworkers: http://i

Pretty much bang on, you've enough technical chops to distill the jargon ;) 1. Yes. If a standalone script, you would have to maintain a separate list of IDs/names/expiries. (Inadvisable and extra work alongside a management app, but if one only has DIY offline management processes not so much a
