Do you know of any similar apps to Beecon+ for Android? I have seen countless apps which allow android devices to detect ibeacons, but nothing that allows the user to then take that RSSI distance and use it for anything.Īndroid doesn’t work the same way with iBeacons because the receiving station apps won’t run in the background. That definitely puts it into perspective. I do not think I can get the ranges small enough to trigger by placing a second receiver at the back door while having it not falsely trigger while my dog is still in the house (back door is a sliding door in the kitchen close to where his food and water bowls are kept).Īny ideas jump out at you? Or am I just not able to create something like this due to the limitations with the current technology for micro location?

Triggers would fire due to the signal now traveling through the floor etc. I successfully got the out of range to trigger at the threshold for my back door by adjusting the beacons transmit power however, this would then cause the trigger to fire when he would go upstairs or downstairs (one floor above of below my receiving station). I can get the IFTTT webhooks to work as triggers, but the inherent weakness in this method is the exit trigger being “out of range” and not a customizable selection as it is for the enter range. I originally set up a receiving station on an old iphone and used the beecon+ app. I thought beacons would be the best solution as they could both wear a ibeacon on their collars. After reading through this forum and your other micro-location information guides. Ultimately, I am attempting to create a micro-location system to determine when my dog and cat are outside. Or by having multiple receiving stations with different distance triggers? What are the options when it comes to receiving stations? I know of the various applications that have been recommended, I assume there is no other option beyond using an application. So, the only way people are able to perform micro locations utilizing beacons is by carrying a moving receiver (i.e. Is this capability not possible or am I just overlooking something obvious? I was able to set the X4 as a region, but I do not see where I can set triggers for the mobile iBeacon coming into range (at specific distance) to this beacon to trigger IFTTT.

However, I am not seeing how to complete this option within the Beecon+ application. However, due to the limitations on the exit range trigger only being when the beacon goes out of range I thought I would purchase the RadBeacon X4 (weatherproof iBeacon) and use the proximity of the mobile beacon to this ibeacon as a trigger (such as near) instead of having to use the exit ranges. So when the mobile beacon comes into a specific range of receiving station it send IFTTT webhook to trigger Smartthings. I am using a stationary iPhone with Beecon+ as the receiving station. I am using the Dot as a mobile iBeacon (attached to person). I am attempting to use various iBeacons from Radius Networks. Specifically, the hcitool and gatttool commands.I know this thread is very old, but I was wondering if anyone may be able to assist with utilizing various iBeacons with the Beecon+ app.

:filter_mac - Specify an array of MAC addresses that the scanner will filter for when doing a scan options = Below are the following options that can be used: radbeacon = scanner.fetch("11:22:33:44:55:66")Īn (optional) options hash is available as an attribute on the Scanner class. There is also a fetch method that returns a Radbeacon::Usb object for a given MAC address.


The duration of a scan (default = 5 seconds) is an attribute that can be set during initialization. The Radbeacon::Scanner class has a scan method that returns an array of configurable RadBeacons (in the form of Radbeacon::Usb objects). Currently the only supported beacon type is RadBeacon USB.
