I want to use iBeacons to identify me back home, i should write it like this：

#iphone app 位置
    zone.home:
      track_ios: true
      beacon:
        uuid: B5B182C7-EAB1-4988-AA99-B5C1517008D9
        major: 1
        minor: 2

or

#iphone app 位置
    zone.home:
      track_ios: false
      beacon:
        uuid: B5B182C7-EAB1-4988-AA99-B5C1517008D9
        major: 1
        minor: 2

I also try to setup my ibeacon (simulated on the Pi3), it was working with owntracks fine. Now I want to use it via the ios app but don’t know where/what settings to make for the UUID?

Check the docs here, @ninesky is right, you need to put the beacon info in your customize section for zone.home, otherwise under the zone configuration if for a zone other than zone.home.

But I have a problem，track_ios: false my iBeacons not work ,There is no notice in the app

8

Need to set the zone alone ？

in configuration.yaml

add

zone:
    - name: 'Drive'
      latitude: XXX
      longitude: YYY
      radius: 100

？？

Finally, i set up so iBeacon can be used

#iphone app 位置
    zone.home:
      track_ios: true
      beacon:
         uuid: B5B182C7-EAB1-4988-AA99-B5C1517008D9
         major: 1
         minor: 5834

Hope i did not do anything wrong

what hardware are you using to track yourself at home?
i guess your phone on one side but on the other side?
