Hi,
Another question pop up while updating the iwd plugin for ConnMan.
Currently, the plugin listens for scanning signal. Whenever iwd has
finished with scanning the plugin calls GetOrderedNetworks in order to
update the signal strengths. Is this still the right way to do it?
I see in the docs that there is a SignalLevelAgent hierarchy. I am not
entirely sure if I need it or what it's the purpose of it. The docs
talks about an array for thresholds and references
net.connman.iwd.Device.RegisterSignalLevelAgent in device-api.txt. But
there is no documentation about it.
Also there is an empty signal-level-agent-api.txt file.
So far the GetOrderednetworks approach works but I'd love to hear if I
am doing it wrong.
Thanks,
Daniel

Strange. This entire hierarchy should be under doc/station-api.txt? I
guess you mean there's a typo and it should be
net.connman.iwd.Station.RegisterSignalLevelAgent. Fixed that now.
The SignalLevelAgent is meant for UI tray / task bar apps. It allows
you to easily implement the 'strength bar' type functionality. The app
basically chooses the thresholds and what number of bars each threshold
corresponds to. iwd does the rest.
Also there is an empty signal-level-agent-api.txt file.
And fixed that as well.

Yes.
Cool, that means no work for me :)

Ah, now I found it. Was properly confused :)
