-# Overview
+# libweave daemon examples
 
-The wrapper implements OS dependent services for libweave
+This directory contains examples implementation of `libweave` device daemons.
 
-# Building
+## Build
 
-### Build daemon examples
-
-The example binaries land in the out/Debug/ directory build all of them at once:
+- build all examples
 
 ```
 make all-examples
 ```
 
-...or one at a time.
+- build only the light daemon
 
 ```
 make out/Debug/weave_daemon_light
 ```
 
-# Prepare Host OS
+## Pre-requisites
 
-### Enable user-service-publishing in avahi daemon
-Set disable-user-service-publishing=no in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
+- enable user-service-publishing in avahi daemon
 
-#### restart avahi
+set `disable-user-service-publishing=no` in `/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf`
+
+- restart avahi daemon
+
 ```
 sudo service avahi-daemon restart
 ```
 
-# Control device with the cloud
+## Provisioning
 
-### Generate registration ticket
-- Go to [OAuth 2.0 Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/)
-- "Step 1": Paste https://www.googleapis.com/auth/clouddevices and click to "Authorize APIs"
-- "Step 2": Click "Exchange authorization code for tokens"
-- "Step 3": Fill the form:
-    * HTTP Method: POST
-    * Request URI: https://www.googleapis.com/weave/v1/registrationTickets
-    * Enter request body: ```{"userEmail": "me"}```
-    * Click "Send the request", a ticket id will be returned in
+### Generate registration tickets
+- go to the [OAuth 2.0 Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/)
+  - `Step 1`: enter the Weave API scope `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/weave.app` and click to `Authorize APIs`
+  - `Step 2`: click `Exchange authorization code for tokens`
+  - `Step 3`:
+    - set `HTTP Method`: `POST`
+    - set `Request URI`: `https://www.googleapis.com/weave/v1/registrationTickets`
+    - click `Enter request body`: `{"userEmail": "me"}`
+    - click `Send the request`
+  - The `Response` contains a new `registrationTicket` resource.

-
-- Copy the ticket "id" generated above: ```93019287-6b26-04a0-22ee-d55ad23a4226```
-- Go to terminal, register and start the daemon with

+### Provision the device
+
+- start the daemon with the `registrationTicket` id.
 
 ```
-        Publishing service

-- Use this cloud_id for future communication with your device as its deviceId.

-[Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weave-device-manager/pcdgflbjckpjmlofgopidgdfonmnodfm)
-or [Weave Developpers Console](https://weave.google.com/console/), where you
-see this id listed right below the device name in device details section.
+- verify that that the device is online in the
+  [Weave Developers Console](https://weave.google.com/console/),
+  the [Weave Android app](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.apps.weave.management)

+# libweave provider examples
+
+This directory contains example implementations of `weave` system providers.
+
+## Providers
+- `avahi_client.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::providerDnsServiceDiscovery`
+  - build-depends: libavahi-client
+  - run-depends: `avahi-daemon`
+- `bluez_client.cc`
+  - not-implemented
+- `curl_http_client.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::HttpClient`
+  - build-depends: libcurl
+- `event_http_server.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::HttpServer`
+  - build-depends: libevhtp
+- `event_network.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::Network`
+  - build-depends: libevent
+- `event_task_runner.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::TaskRunner`
+  - build-depends: libevent
+- `file_config_store.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::ConfigStore`
+- `wifi_manager.cc`
+  - implements: `weave::provider::Wifi`
+  - build-depends: `weave::examples::EventNetworkImpl`
+  - run-depends: `network-manager`, `dnsmasq`, `hostapd`
+
+Note:
+- The example providers are based on `libevent` and should be portable between most GNU/Linux distributions.
+- `weave::examples::WifiImpl` currently shells out to system
+  command tools like `nmcli`, `dnsmasq`, `ifconfig` and `hostpad`.
