Hi Karl,
first of all thanks for alkl your work. This seems to have grown to an incredible pile of information - as it seems, too much for me...
What I am trying to do seems to be quit simple and staright forward ( at least that's what I thounght)
I simply wanted o detect the presence of a few iPhones in my house. So I setup your piBeancon Plugin and a Raspberry Pi3 with the completely configured image.
I can say that the Pi runs in my network and seems to be doing it's job. It is connected via Wifi.
What I can't seem to get is a reliable device in the piBeacon devices that show up or down.
I have the folowing devices at hand:
1. iPad Mini 2, iOS 10.3. Beta 1
2. iPad Air 2, iOS 10.2.1
3. iPad 3, iOS 9
4. iPhone 6, iOS 10.2.1
5. iPhone 4s, iOS 9.3.5
6. iPhone 7, iOS 10.2.1
Assuming that the bluetooth button in the iOS settings really turns bluetooth off I am trying to test the presence detection of the system.
1. iPad Mini2 shows almost instantly.
2. iPad Air2 works as well
3. iPad 3 never shows up
4. iPhone 6 shows up, but uses the same UUID as the iPad Mini
5. iPhone 4s, never shows up
6. iPhone 7 show up, but uses the same UUID as iPad Mini
I might understand that iPad3 and iPhoen 4s don't support iBeacon, but different devices on different iOS Versions using the ssame UUID? Could it bee that the Pi/plugin do something wrong in identifying the devices?
I hope you can shed some light on this. BTW: How do you identify your iOS devices form what is shown in the piBeacon list?
Thanks
Wilhelm
