This plugin allows you to read WiFi RSSI from applications developed using Cordova 3.0 or newer.

Works on both Android and iOS platforms, but will not pass the Apple App Store Review process.

Tested on iOS Simulator devices: iPhone 5, 6, 7, 8, SE, X, XR, XS, XS Max

NOTE: Does not return any values for iPad at this time.

In your application project directory:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-rssi

const rssi = cordova.plugins.rssi;

Returns the device's current WiFi RSSI information via 3 parameters:

rssi.read(function success(data){
    console.log(data);
    // -> {rssi: -38, bars: 4, isIPhoneX: false}
});

  • Value: Integer or null if unavailable
  • Range: -100 ≤ x ≤ 0
• bars: Number of visible bars in WiFi icon
  • Availability: Android, iOS
