So what transmit power and advertise mode is everyone using for their BLE Transmitter sensor? ! am using these settings. It’s working okay but I’m afraid to turn it up due to battery usage.
With the ultralow setting my esp32’s couldn’t find my phone at all and at low they updated very slowly and one sensor couldn’t see my phone. My phone is a Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Advertise Mode: lowPower (1Hz)
Transmitting power: medium
With less Transmitting power I was seeing dropouts with my esp beacon sensor just 5m away within plain sight view. I think cranking up the frequency isn’t really worth it, as there is already a fairly large time out for the esp beacon sensors at the order of minuets. So my phone is sending ~100 beacons before the esp considers it to be lost. Sending more sounds like trying to fix the problem on the wrong end to me.
I would really like to know if there is anyone who has made low or ultraLow for transmitting power work for him/her and how that was done. To me it seems these configuration options are rather useless.
