Estimote support does not work with firmware 3.2+ #65

Open dharmeshpurohit opened 7 years ago

dharmeshpurohit commented 7 years ago

Hi all,

I am trying to run estimote/test.js to get temperature from beacon. I am getting following output:

found: {"uuid":"f162fe9b5870","address":"f1:62:fe:9b:58:70","manufacturerData":"4c000215b9407f30f5f8466eaff925556b57fe6d5870fe9bc4","major":22640,"minor":65179,"measuredPower":-60} connectAndSetUp

After that it is not doing anything and not moving forward. I am not sure what could be the issue.

Please suggest me what might be going wrong.

I am very new to this technologies so my question might be very basic.

I am not sure what would be to correct place to ask question so opened new issue.

My apology.

Thanks,

Dharmesh

Hi @dharmeshpurohit,

You're probably using a new version of the Estimote firmware that is not compatible with this module. Estimote rolled new firmware last year that requires cloud auth: http://makezine.com/2015/08/28/estimote-fixes-security-problems-with-beacon-firmware/

I have no plans to support their new scheme, however pull requests are welcome.

I had a few estimote that is already running firmware 3.2. I wonder if there is a way to downgrade this estimote to older firmware?
