Hi Zaid,
With active notifications you can do it. Basically:
1. Set active notification on WiFi.SSID, channel, etc.
2. When the user changes any of the wifi settings in the local gui, the
device will inform with a value_change
3. If the inform header has any of the wifi settings in it, pull the set
of wifi parameters that are considered important from the device
The downside is that makes your model more complicated, because now your
model isn¹t really a representation of the device - some of it is desired
state, some of it is current device state.
