For the past two days, I’ve been trying to use my Estimate beacons for indoor location and failing. When I open the indoor location app to add a new space, it detects my beacons but every single time fails to calibrate them.
I’ve set their transmission power to maximum and update interval to the shortest with all the battery settings and secure UUID turned off. Logged in and out of my Estimate Cloud account several times.
I can get into every single beacon to make settings but calibration keeps failing. Also I was able to add a location once long before.
Are these beacons on firmware 3.2 by any chance? Due to changes in beacon authorization mechanisms in 3.2, the current version of the Indoor app is unable to configure such beacons—this is fixed in the upcoming version. The temporary workaround is to configure the beacons manually using the main Estimote app:
packet type = Estimote Default
transmit power = +4 dBm
advertising interval = 200 ms
basic energy saving mode (in “remaining battery life” section) = off
smart energy saving mode = on
… and then you can simply skip the beacon-configuration step by touching the “skip” button in the top-right corner. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Also, just a friendly reminder, could you please document this to somewhere to your site. I’ve lost really valuable time because of this. I really wouldn’t like someone else to suffer.
