Wi-Fi remote pairing through OpenGopro problem

[arodrigoca]

Hello,

I have a GoPro Hero 9 with non-functioning rear screen. I would like to know if it is possible to set the camera to be on remote pairing mode through the BLE API.
As far as I know, the GoPro original remote creates a Wi-Fi access point (only discoverable in the remote's pairing mode). Through the OpenGopro turorial 6, I managed to make the camera connect as a station to the Wi-Fi remote access point. However, after a few seconds, the camera disconnects from the remote.

The tutorial 6 example code reports some problem with provisioning:

INFO 17:26:01.178 Connecting to HERO-RC-[REDACTED-REMOTE-ID] connect_as_sta.py:160

ERROR 17:26:54.236 RuntimeError('Unexpected provisioning state: 0') connect_as_sta.py:229`

I would like to know if this issue can be solved, thanks in advance.

There seems to be a couple different topics here but here are some notes:

1. No, there is no way to set the camera into pairing mode via an API call. This is purposeful as it is considered a security risk.
2. The tutorials are only designed to work with the latest camera (currently Hero 13). They should still work with Hero 9. Can you please post the entire log?

Yes, you can find the log file attached here.

Well for what its worth, I just tested with my Hero 9 with the tutorial 6 script and it is working with my home network.

The error from the log you posted is simply PROVISIONING_UNKNOWN which unfortunately does not provide any useful information.

My best guess is that there is something special about the network you are connecting to that the camera does not like. One thing to note is that Hero 9 will not work if the network does not have internet access.
