Hi,
I’m looking to access (and/or expose) via dbus scanned information on
bssid. Specifically, information as follows:

{
  "wifiAccessPoints": [
 {
  "macAddress": "f0:d5:bf:fd:12:ae",
  "signalStrength": -43,
  "signalToNoiseRatio": 0,
  "channel": 11,
  "age": 0
},
{
  "macAddress": "3c:37:86:5d:75:d4",
  "signalStrength": -35,
  "signalToNoiseRatio": 0
},
{
  "macAddress": "30:86:2d:c4:29:d0",
  "signalStrength": -35,
  "signalToNoiseRatio": 0
}
 ]
}

This would be for geolocation services such as skyhook or google
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/requests-geolocation
to allow a device to estimate its location. It seems that what is
exposed is ESSID information with the strongest AP, or does is this
information already exposed in iwd and which module/interface should
be used? If not exposed, which model would be the most appropriate to
add this to - scan, station, or another - and what interface for dbus
should the method be exposed through?
