Re: how to get scanned network strength over dbus

Denis,

Thanks for the help, but I figured it out. The script in the directory
'list-devices' illustrated how to do it.

aside:
Our UI is dependent on some of the output and format of some of the
connmanctl commands.
We wanted to remove that component and I was able to construct a
python script that mimics
'connmanctl services' and 'connmanctl services <service>'

This was able to get us going. I noted that the Pi boots significantly
faster without connman. We now use
systemd-networkd and iwd and have a python script working to start an
ap0 if the wlan0 disconnects
and then shuts it down if iwd reconnects to a known network.
