BTLE tracking IBeacon

Was wondering if anyone has successfully used IBeacons with BTLE tracking. I’m not looking at pairing it with Owntrack. I’d like to use a coin battery powered IBeacon and leave it in my wifes purse. This way when her phone is dead I can still have the lights turn on when she gets home. Just looking for feasibility advice before she see’s anymore Amazon boxes at the door.

I’m using it with Owntracks but I know that wasn’t what you are asking about. There was a two part blog on iBeacons that @Pavoni wrote that was an excellent intro to this - here’s a link to Part I and part II links at the bottom of the blog entry. It might help you; I learned a lot.
