Wireless networking method and apparatus for air-conditioning system

A wireless networking method for an air conditioning system, comprising:

• obtaining, by an outdoor unit of the air conditioning system, a plurality of blank cards corresponding to target devices one-to-one, the target devices comprising the outdoor unit and a device to be networked of the air conditioning system;
• punching, with a mechanical port of the outdoor unit, the plurality of the blank cards according to a first identification information of the outdoor unit to generate a plurality of punched cards with the same punched card code, wherein the punched card code is used to represent the first identification information;
• reading, by the device to be networked of the air conditioning system, a punched card to obtain the first identification information represented by the punched card code on the punched card;
• sending, by the device to be networked, a connection request to the wireless LAN of the outdoor unit of the air conditioning system according to the first identification information, wherein the connection request is used to request to connect to the wireless LAN of the outdoor unit, the connection request containing the first identification information;
• and
• if the outdoor unit verifies that the first identification information matches with the second identification information, connecting the device to be networked to the wireless LAN, wherein the second identification information is identification information of the outdoor unit represented by the punched card code on the punched card and obtained by the outdoor unit reading the punched card.

A wireless networking apparatus for an air conditioning system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a wireless networking method for an air conditioning system based on instructions stored in the memory, the wireless networking method comprising:
• obtaining, by an outdoor unit of the air conditioning system, a plurality of blank cards corresponding to target devices one-to-one, the target devices comprising the outdoor unit and a device to be networked;
• punching, with a mechanical port of the outdoor unit, the plurality of the blank cards according to a first identification information of the outdoor unit to generate a plurality of punched cards with the same punched card code, wherein the punched card code is used to represent the first identification information;
• reading, by the outdoor unit of the air conditioning system, a punched card to obtain first identification information of the outdoor unit represented by the punched card code on the punched card;
• acquiring, by the outdoor unit, a connection request to connect to a wireless local area network (LAN) of the outdoor unit, which is sent by the device to be networked;
• obtaining, by the outdoor unit, second identification information contained in the connection request according to the connection request, wherein the device to be networked obtains the second identification information via the punched card;
• and
• connecting, by the outdoor unit, the device to be networked to the wireless LAN if it is verified that the second identification information matches with the first identification information.
