Afternoon,
I am rolling out an enterprise WiFi solution, and I am going to have a guest portal where they can connect using a password that I want to automatically change every 24 hours.
I want to display this passcode in the reception area of two buildings that are linked on the same network. But I am wondering the best way to do this.
I could simply get reception to print the code off each morning and stick the paper up. But I would prefer an electronic solution if possible. Any clever ideas?
I guess I could have a couple cheap tablets showing it?

What wifi solution are you using?
does said wifi solution have the ability to change the password every 24 hours? does it have any other abilities such as to publish the password or email it or something?

Surely an auto updating webpage would be the one?

It's a Ruckus solution. I am told that it has the ability to change every 24 hours.
Pow, I'm not sure why I didn't think about that 
Also considering just writing an Android app and using a cheap pair of tablets in nice holders.

...or just an auto updating webpage driven by a couple of Pi's or even the tablets themselves
I use loads of slef updating PHP pages to show loads of things, mainly room bookings outside the rooms themselves!

even if it updates every 24hrs, you need a way to publish it to make it automated.

Must be able to do something with a txt file? My Unifi stuff can dump a changing WPA key into a text file in a certain location when it updates.
