I have tried to use the iOS indoor SDK, and used the standard way to build a self location, (with dimension and orientation), add beacon on walls for a small room.
However it’s still very inaccurate, here is a photo, we had 10 beacons in one 5m * 5m room and the trace is shown as we walk clockwise align the walls. we had some doubts and after confirmation the problem shouldn’t belong to any of these:
0. wrong type of beacons (we bought latest location beacons)
- wrong placement of beacons
- short broadcasting range (actually we set all of them to be 100m)
- short battery life (we used beacons only for 1 month but the battert still have 1 year left)
- I dunno
Thanks a lot for the time and hope to get from you
That definitely looks way worse than we’d expect!
Could you message me your Estimote Account email? I’ll double-check the configuration of your beacons.
Are all beacons placed on the walls, at the same height?
What iOS device and iOS version are you testing with? I also assume you’re on the latest version of the Indoor SDK?
Sure, thank you a lot for the reply!
Yup there are all on the walls with same height, and we use latest iOS 10 on iphone 7, and we use swift3. And I guess I am using the latest version of indoor SDK? I follow the tutorial and directly usu cocoapods to implement Indoor SDK.
Sorry may I know how to message you personally?
Click on my avatar, then there’s a “Message” button in there (:
Okay, I don’t know if this is one of the bugs of the website, I can’t find any Message button after click on your avatar. There are only Badges like “Member”, “Famous Link”. I sent you my account information via Facebook.
Ha, thanks for sharing about the Message button—turns out private-messages were disabled for new users, I changed that (:
I checked the beacon configs and they look all right.
Could you try if the “Indoor Light” mode gives better results?
