iBeacon Detector and Proxidyne Sensors Indigo plugin
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 5:29 pm
I created a plugin for Indigo that works our Proxidyne sensors (including buttons, motion sensor and a new iBeacon detector for nearby wearable iBeacons). The plugin is here: https://github.com/proxidyne/indigo_bleu.
The plugin supports the new iBeacon Detector. The iBeacon Detector will trigger actions in Indigo when it detects nearby wearable iBeacons such as an iBeacon keyfob. I am the author of the iOS app Geohopper that is used with Indigo to trigger actions via webhooks. When you enter or exit a room, Geohopper detects the event and triggers the webhook, which in term triggers a indigo action. The new plugin does something similar, but instead of an app, it uses a wearable iBeacon, and the action is triggered by the iBeacon Detector sending a message to the USB Proxidyne Receiver plugged into the Indigo server. It also means that you have much more granular control over signal strength when detecting the wearable beacon. This translates to more accurate indoor location detection.
I blogged about using the plugin with the iBeacon detector here: http://proxidyne.com/blog/
The plugin also works with our motion detectors and range of buttons. More information here: http://proxidyne.com/markets/maker/bleu ... utomation/
Check out the plugin and let me know what you think.
