Hello everyone,
I’m looking at developing a system when a RaspPi would read closest iBeacon accelerometer values to detect whether or not the beacon is in mouvement.
Does anyone have an idea for doing so?
Regards,
Morgan
Use the Estimote iOS app to enable Motion UUID on your beacons.
This will make the beacon broadcast a different UUID (the app will show you) when in motion, so it should be super easy to detect it via RaspPi.
Thank you,
If I were to place the order now, how long does the pre-order last?
Regards
@Morgan_Zysman Check https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bleacon/tree/master/estimote-sticker
it works under RPI and you can receive data as this
temperature: 22.75,
moving: true,
batteryLevel: ‘high’,
acceleration: { x: -640.625, y: 156.25, z: -656.25 },
currentMotionStateDuration: 1,
previousMotionStateDuration: 600,
so you can detect the mouvement, get accelerometer data but also temperature.
Regards
Oops, it looks like my reply got stuck in a draft ):
@Morgan_Zysman, my bad, I actually haven’t noticed we’re talking about nearables. @tchavdar nailed it though—on RaspPi, you can use the bleacon library, it can parse the Nearable packet, which includes motion data. No need for Motion UUID.
If I were to place the order now, how long does the pre-order last?
We expect to fully clear the backlog of preorders in a week or two, so if you place your order now, it should arrive in ~ 2–3 weeks.
