🎯 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 — 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 — Cloud sends email with registration link
4. New user registers → Cloud syncs identity to Station
