What hardware can I add to increase accuracy? #152

Hi ,

Just started playing with this and am very impressed.

I currently have a google mesh of 3 and and a raspberry pi that seem to form the hub of data collection for my setup - for the most part it works great but I have a few rooms where accuracy is poor. What can I to do to increase accuracy between rooms? I'm guessing if I had more google meshes that would help, but are there cheaper options, plug in bluetooth beacons pi zeros that would work?

Thanks in advance.

I've found something interesting here: https://github.com/DatanoiseTV/esp-find3-client

Cheap microcontroller that feeds data to Find to improve accuracy.

But comparing prices in my part of the world (NZ) sounds like getting a few pi zeros and using the find3-cli-scanner feeding into a central db sounds like a better option, also maybe allows passive observance too ...

I was curious about this too. I purchased a wifi dongle for passive scanning. However, the devices I want to track are not static and are running the FIND3 scanner, which seems to make passive scanning irrelevant.

Curious to know if you found any alternatives to this.
