The best way to test iBeacons is once the UUID/Major/Minor numbers are confimred and saved in MobiLinc, with BlueTooth ON in your iPhone, turn off power to the iBeacon for 5 minutes. Screenshot of the iBeacon's manufacturer's app that show the actual iBeacon's UUID and major/minor numbers. Screenshot of the iBeacon setup in MobiLinc showing the UUID and the major/minor numbers. Can you send me screenshots to: of the following: ISY Portal is not supported.įor the iBeacon detection, if iOS isn't informing MobiLinc about the iBeacon status (INSIDE/OUTSIDE) then the UUID and/or the major minor numbers don't match the beacon's settings. So, now I am left with a home automation system that relies entirely on location, and I have an app that cannot report geofence crossings accurately, or the presence of a beacon.Īny suggestions, or will I be forced to give up on this product? BlackSheep Posts: 4 Joined: Sun 11:49 amĪre you using our MobiLinc Connect service, a direct IP, or ISY Portal to connect to your ISY? MobiLinc Connect is the best option and recommended way to connect. It will sometimes report when I come within range of the beacon, but it never updates to show when I am out of range of the beacon.
The RadBeacon's app correctly shows when I am within range of the RadBeacon, but mobilinc does not. The RadBeacon itself is operating correctly, but mobilinc does not report the position to the beacon correctly. This makes writing programs very difficult, and I am ready to give up on trying.Īs a last-ditch effort, I purchased a RadBeacon to try and help programs reliably determine whether my wife and I are home or not. I have been using Mobilinc for nearly a year, and the app only correctly records a boundary crossing probably 50% of the time. I live in a very densely populated city with plenty of wifi hotspots and good cellphone coverage, yet I still have very unreliable variable updates on crossing geo-fence boundaries.

With iBeacons and Advanced Locations, you can have MobiLinc update ISY variables based on which iBeacon you are near (room scale - about 10-20 feet resolution). iBeacons are in the <10m range for location needs. They won't change anything with geo-fences.

Keeping the iPhone out and in clear line of sight plugged into a power source is the best chance at getting all the many variables working together for reliable geofence crossing activity. If the iPhone is in a weak cell area, or cell data happens to be down or impacted at the time (maybe the iPhone doesn't have a clear line of sight to a cell tower) then MobiLinc won't be able to reach the ISY to tell the ISY about the variable state change. When the boundary crossing event does occur, iOS gives MobiLinc only 2 minutes to tell the ISY about the variable state change.
While very rare, it does happen where iOS just doesn't fire a boundary crossing.Ģ. If iOS hasn't seen Wi-Fi access points it recognizes or cell tower data has changed, this can impact iOS ability to recognize when the boundary has actually happened. iOS actually controls when the boundary is crossed. It's not possible to hit 100% for the following reasons:ġ. 95% of the time is about what I would expect.
