I have my phones that are right next to the BT Proxy that this integration uses but the distance reported is between 15-20m for each phone.
When I move out the room the distance shows unknown so it is sense it.
There’s a lot of missing information. Is your phone set to transmit it’s iBeacon signal at low? Are other devices showing the same behavior? Are you using 1 esp to test this or several proxies?
You will have to calibrate. Read the docs it tells you how.
The beta version allows calibration per BLE proxy.
Ok thanks.
Sorry I am new playing with iBeacons so been following a youtube tutorial.
Just for completeness, the signal is set to low (might have tried ultalow too). I only have one esp proxy and tested with two phones so I will work through the calibration steps and update later.
Hi again
I have googled and looked at the Bluetooth Proxy pages but can’t see a reference to calibrating it.
Or is it just a matter of editing the below
esp32_ble_beacon:
tx_power: 3dBm # Adjust this value as needed
I also see that adding more proxies will improve accuracy.
Sorry to be slow with this bit I can find where "“Area rssi” value is referenced in the App on my phone. Also should this be an entry I can edit so that I can then say this rssi value = 1m?
