🎯 Station Claiming

The mobile app is the primary tool for claiming a Raspberry Pi station and binding it to a user account.

Flow​

What Mobile Does​

  • Scans the QR code shown at http://smartstation.local (or station's local IP)
  • QR encodes chipId + claimSecret generated by install-agent.sh
  • Sends claim request to Cloud β€” Cloud does the validation and token issuance
  • After claim, mobile receives the station and can control devices remotely via Cloud relay

Inviting Other Members​

After claiming, the owner can invite other users via the Station Frontend or mobile:

  1. Enter email + role (admin / member)
  2. Station queues the invite (works offline)
  3. When online β€” Cloud sends email with registration link
  4. New user registers β†’ Cloud syncs identity to Station
