Beacon — local-first hotspot voucher control for ESP devices and MikroTik HotSpot, with contract-first APIs across portal, admin, SDK, and cloud surfaces.

Overview

Glow maps to the beacon repo (WiFi vending — not the separate emergency-alarm craft). Beacon is in active development as a modern replacement direction for Fi: OpenAPI-defined local and cloud APIs, firmware via PlatformIO, and workspace packages for portal, admin, SDK, tools, and cloud backend/dashboard.

Capabilities

OpenAPI specs: beacon-local-api.v1.yaml and beacon-cloud-api.v1.yaml with Redocly lint and SDK generation
Local API paths for health, rates, and customer transactions on-device (http://beacon.local/api/v1)
Workspaces: portal, admin, sdk, tools, cloud/backend, cloud/dashboard
Contract test pipeline: lint → test → generate → SDK typecheck
Firmware init/build scripts (pio project init, pio run) for ESP boards
Description: local-first hotspot voucher control for ESP devices and MikroTik HotSpot
