Hi,
I’m creating an App which lets users in a room control lights and temperature. This would only work if a user is the room so when it’s in range of the beacon placed in the room. I’ve also made an indoor location for this, the room looks like this (dunno why it didn’t made a door in the room but it’s at the top right corner)
Let’s say the beacon I use is the Bottom blueberry beacon, what would be the best way to know it the user is in the room (Monitoring or Ranging)?
I tried ranging in the Appdelegate of my App, so when the user is in range of the beacon is shows the controls for controlling the lights and temperature. When the user is outside (± 3 meters from the door) the screen pops back saying that the user is not in range. But this isn’t really stable as sometimes it justs pops back saying the user isn’t in the room while he is.
Any ideas?
