QR codes?
« on: January 19, 2018, 08:05:06 AM »
Since I have no smartphone I lack familiarity/expertise with QR codes which may be obvious when I ask, "Why are there Android and iOS QR codes in the User Manual?

The QR codes if scanned by your phone will take you to the corresponding app for your specific phone.

Does that include the QR code (or what ever it is) on the back of the WM100 unit?   I thought it was some kind of unique "serial number" to the WM100 unit, and is used to register the unit.

Or am I thinking too much of the way GE Connect does it.   ;)

No. The QR code on the back on the unit contains its unique serial number, and is required to register the unit in the app.

I think this then goes back to the original question, if you don't have a camera (or it doesn't work anymore), is there an alternate way to manually enter the unique serial number?

 :(     Any chance to get it on the future upgrades list?

The camera on my inexpensive (ie, cheap) android tablets, has problems focusing on something that small and close-to-the-lens.    I had this problem with my GE Connect devices, because they register basically the same way.    Yes, I use these tablets because it isn't all that big of a loss if one gets dropped or sat upon.
