Could be used similarily to how RPis are detected on the network.

Very timely post Mr. Kreggly!
Iāve been researching how to do this for the newer Arduinoās (Yun, Yun Mini, Uno WiFi, Otto) which have the built-in Wi-Fi functionality and act as access point.
Think about thisā¦ if Arduinoās and ESPās shipped with a pre-loaded āCayenne sketch fileā, so when a user opened it up out of package and plugged into power, Cayenne could discover the device on the network, and connect it to the users account right away without new code needing to be flashed on it.
That would be amazing and would give people that immediate gratification for pretty near free.
Then as Cayenne āwears well as oneās experience with it growsā, they can customize sketches.
All good stuff!
(and yes, I just quoted K&R and the Mole Sisters in the same post. Donāt judge me)
Who are K&R and the Mole Sisters?
Donāt judge me.
Yup, donāt do code.
Yup, donāt do preā¦ um, let me rephrase thisā¦
Ahhhm, ok, awkward, letās see, I got itā¦
My children havenāt been preschool age for a long time.
Never heard of either, so there it is,
