for details : i want to track people inside a building entering and leaving a certain area. I have defined geofences for this. What is the optimal config for indoor? Can you help me?

What sort of indoor tracking equipment do you have installed at the particular location where you're doing indoor tracking?

Indoor tracking is a BIG TOPIC, requiring the purchase of specialized equipment installed at the particular (eg: museum, shopping mall).

Without the installation of specialized equipment, using only an Android / iOS device, indoor tracking is impossible. The best accuracy indoors is 40-60 meters. Geofences (with a minimum radius of 200 meters) will not work indoors.

Here's an example of how a large airport (London's Gatwick) does indoor tracking (with Bluetooth beacons):

I want to keep track of the sales person's entrances and exits to stores that are usually 30+ meters in diameter. I tried today, but I didn't get a very good result. I probably need to do this with another device instead of the phone, right?

store locations are very different, some on the road and some in the mall.

The minimum geofence radius, without specialized equipment installed at the location, is 200 meters.

you cannot do indoor tracking / geofencing without installing specialized equipment, which is beyond the scope of this plug-in.

Indoor tracking is not easy. It is expensive and complex.
