We’re using Proximity to detect Enter/Exit events.
It’s a Coconut beacon, and the main device we’re testing with is a new iPhone on iOS 10.
When moving towards and away from the beacon, we only seem to get the notifications about 60% of the time.
Is this normal with these beacons or are there some things we can look into to improve this? At this rate these beacons won’t work for our application.
Thanks

I assume you mean the Estimote Proximity SDK? What trigger range do you use?

How exactly are you triggering these notifications? On every enter and exit event? Can you maybe post some code snippets?
Does the Proximity demo in the Estimote app work better for you?
Are you testing with the app in the background? Bluetooth works slower in the background on iOS, how much time do you spend in range of the beacon?
