A station-operator often sends a user a phonebook with predefined stations so the user doesn’t have to manually type in station details. In addition to this the operator can also create a URL type of link and send this to a user !
So, just like when you have a link like ” https://www.technicadelarte.com “, you can also send a user a link that starts with luci:// instead of https:// and send this via email, sms, or any other communication-channel.
When this link is clicked on a device , it will then look if there is an Application installed that accepts this link and will ask the user to start it.
This takes care of these many things in one go :
- Start the LUCI software that is installed on the device
- Prepopulate a station with connection details contained in the link
- Save the station in a seperate phonebook called “URI”
- Start the connection (when the user allows it)
Many -but not all- stations details can be set with this link.
