BTBerryWifi vs Pellio

The Problem: Your headless Raspberry Pi needs to connect to a new wifi network. You cannot use ssh because your Mac/Pc is on the new network (and the old network is not available). You do not have access to a monitor/keyboard/mouse. Or your RPi is sealed in a box. The Solution: The BTBerryWifi app connects to your Headless Raspberry Pi via bluetooth, and allows you to select a wifi network seen by your Raspberry Pi. A simple familiar interface displays the network SSID (name) , the strength icon , and whether the wifi network is locked (encoded) or open.   Tap the network to connect. If the network is locked, the app prompts you for the network's password (key).  The Raspberry Pi is now connected! You can also connect to hidden SSID network .  Any network you connect to at least once is saved on the raspberry pi for future re-use. Extra features for supporters: Encryption to secure network SSID and passwords from bluetooth eavesdropping. This also locks the Raspberry Pi to only those to whom you give a password so other users with this app cannot connect to your RPi. Extra information about the RPi:  - IP4, IP6 addresses on the wifi network. - Mac address of the ethernet, wifi and bluetooth adapters. - Detail strength (dbM) and channel/frequency of all networks around the pi. (great for handling interference!) - user defined info from the RPi displayed on the iPhone/iPad Notes:  1) IMPORTANT:  You must FISRT install the corresponding python program on the Raspberry Pi in order for the Raspberry Pi to communicate with the iPhone app.The python code to be installed is available for free (open source).  An installation script is provided: follow the instructions at https://normfrenette.com/Set-wifi-via-bluetooth/Installation-RaspberryPi-automatic/ or https://github.com/nksan/Rpi-SetWiFi-viaBluetooth 2) Tested on Raspberry Pi 3B+,4 and 5 (OS: Buster(10), Bullseye(11), Bookworm(12), Ubuntu) & Banana pi (Armbian). 3) The app user guide can be found at: https://normfrenette.com/Set-wifi-via-bluetooth/iPhone-App-iPhone-app-usage/ 4) there are also demo/user guides videos: - setting the wifi network (various options): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt_nxcghhZE - using "supporter" features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-VTXTclnhw

Pellio is your household heating logbook. You log your refills; the app tells you what is left, how long it will last, and what the season is costing you. THE ONE GESTURE, IN FIFTEEN SECONDS Standing at the appliance, a bag in one hand and the phone in the other: one screen, one field, large buttons. Bags adjust by half a bag, the weight appears at once, and the app tells you what will be left afterwards. WHAT THE APP ANSWERS • Remaining stock, in kilos and in bags • Estimated days left: "about 4 weeks", never a false certainty • Your observed rhythm: "refill expected today" • The last fourteen days at a glance — this is where a forgotten entry shows up • An alert when stock drops below a week, and when your week runs well above your habit YOUR PURCHASES, AND WHAT THEY COST Supplier, date, bags, price per kilo including delivery. Pellio works out your average, your cheapest and your dearest buy, and points out your best time to order based on your history. THE APPLIANCE LOGBOOK Details of your stove, insert or boiler: brand, model, warranty, annual service. A record of every job, from sweeping the flue to replacing the glass. And thresholds in kilos — "clean the burn pot every 300 kg" — with how much is left to burn before it falls due. THE SEASON, CLOSED OUT From 1 September to 31 August: fuel burned, cost, bags carried, first and last day of heating. Share the summary as text, or export it to CSV and PDF. NO ACCOUNT, NO NETWORK, NO ADVERTS No sign-up, no email address. Everything works offline: the garage has no signal, and the app does not need one. Your heating records stay on your phone. No adverts, no subscription. WHAT PELLIO DOES NOT DO It measures nothing: no sensor, no tank gauge. It gives back what you declared, and shows an estimate as an estimate. Data can be backed up by export, then imported back on another phone. 27 languages: French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Norwegian, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Ukrainian and Russian.
