Use the phone as a BLE Beacon #656

Open galadril opened 2 years ago

galadril commented 2 years ago

Let the phone be a BLE beacon. For example by using this library: https://github.com/adriancretu/beacons-android

This is going to be a first feature that only gets released in the new Domoticz app

Hello @galadril , could you detail a Usecase ? Does that mean some kind of an old unused smartphone should be used as a beacon, always up and running?

@rezzalex the specific use is for espresense.

@rezzalex the specific use is for espresense.

does it really require special specific hardware ?

heggink commented 2 years ago

When you refer to "it", do you mean esp32?

Is espresense can run on any other hardware than esp32 ?

heggink commented 2 years ago

Don't think there is any other image than esp32. The idea is one low cost device per room to track ble devices and locate which room they are in.

@galadril: will this approach also work for iPhone?

heggink commented 1 year ago

@galadril Any update on the status for this?
