Awesome projects like Berrylan (http://www.berrylan.org/) allow edge devices to be easily onboarded to a local Wifi network.

The issue we need to resolve is how to make that possible within the UI.

The wifi onboarding sequence requires Bluetooth pairing which is used as a channel to send the Wifi credentials to the edge device.

PWA currently does not support Bluetooth, although it is a Draft W3C API proposal.

It looks like Bluetooth support in PWA is gradually becoming available in mainstream browsers:

Balena's Wifi Connect project looks promising.
It is used by popular projects such as Home Bridge and Open Agriculture.
