Hi @karamckenna is this still open? I could invite our Meraki Masters who would be interested in this!

Hi @redsector No, you don't as the AP is still active, all we are doing is turning off: - 2.4Ghz radio - 5 GHZ Radio For example, the following radios - BLE radio - Security radio are still active 🙂

Hi @David_Jirku Sorry for late response, Yes it can be done! For example from the Dashboard directly, you can turn off the 5G band in RF Profile/Radio Settings > Create RF Profile > Turn off 5G or via API https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!create-network-wireless-rf-profile - band operation mode "2.4ghz"

1. Purpose of the MT30 + MR integration
This project aims to tackle the new "bee" law (loi Abeille) in France where all wifi transmissions must be turned off unless being used in computer class.
However, this integration has many different use cases: from sustainability (with transmissions off, power consumption of the MR is greatly reduced) to security (turning off wifi when not needed and avoiding unwanted guests in the network).
2. Challenges
I've been working on this project before MT30 was first announced. The main challenge was to get the right API created in Meraki. In the beginning, we could only turn off SSID but not wifi transmissions (which was incompatible with the law). After raising an FR, the MR team created a PM-gated NFO "has_rf_profiles_transmission_api" to enable the possibility to disable all wifi transmissions through an RF profile.
The integration piece was very smooth between MT30:
- Short pressed MT30 = turn on wifi transmissions
PUT {{baseUrl}}/networks/:networkId/wireless/rfProfiles/:rfProfileId
Body
{ "transmission": {
"enabled": true
}
- Long pressed MT30 = turn off wifi transmissions
PUT {{baseUrl}}/networks/:networkId/wireless/rfProfiles/:rfProfileId
Body
{ "transmission": {
"enabled": false
}
3. Meraki Gear
I was using an MR46 with the MT30 to test this project but the idea of this project is to take it into classrooms.
The proposed kit will be as follows per class:
- 1 x MT30 -> to turn on/off wifi transmissions
- 1 x MR30H/MR36H -> spare LAN ports to connect classroom equipment (TV, phone, etc.)
- 1 x MT14 -> to ensure air quality is suitable for students
4. Future Plans
The market for this integration of MT30 + MR is huge in France with all schools required to comply with the law. I'm really hoping this integration will be made available out of the box once MT30 is launched. Not only will be very interesting for schools but also for every single company looking into sustainability, reducing their power consumption, and increasing security 🙂

We are looking for a radio station. Switch Eddie's geographic location (address). Broadcasting House, Peel Wing, Portland Pl, London W1A 1AA, United Kingdom We are looking for a date. Have a look at VLAN 1525 in the MX. It'll provide hints. 1 day We're looking for a well known attack used by hackers. A hint can be found in the raspberrypi client's notes. Phishing We're looking for a motto, and even a rule. Don't ... SSID 15's name says the rest. Don't Panic This question can be found on the splash page settings for the same SSID. What.is.the.answer.to.the.ultimate.question.of.life.the.universe.and.everything? = Love We're looking for one of my favorite characters. The Total Perspective Vortex MV camera's tags are all hints. alan_rickman_and_warwick_davis ambition_makes_you_look_pretty_ugly looney_tunes_martian recently-added (Alan Rickman, Warwick Davis, Looney Tunes) We're looking for some kind of big calculator. Port 6 on switch Eddie links up to it. Deep Thought Uplink We're looking for the artist of a song. You'll need to use the snapshot API to know which one. Make a snapshot of the Total Perspective Vortex camera. I shone some light at the exact timestamp of 18/08/2020 16:12:00 Belgian time (Note that Belgian time is at +02:00 at the moment). If your timestamp is correct, you'll see the title of a song that's also the name of a spaceship, if not you'll see only darkness. "timestamp": "1597763520" Who is informed when someone violates their geofencing policy? arthur.dent@human.from.earth By now the central theme of the questions should be clear. But the next question isn’t: oaniemmsbuhpvzkbzptgsilyzskjoticnmk? It's Vigenère encoded, the keyword for deciphering it can be found in a pointless MX L3 firewall rule. name the author of this great radio series? = Brecht Schamp
