piBeacon: 19- display in which room a beacon is

here is how to display a green dot for (each) beacon in a room where the beacon currently is:

setup a page with:

]
etc for each beacon (here b-radius-1,2) and room (room-0...9 if you have 10 RPI ) you like to cover

create the following images:
Code: Select all
RPI0+-1.png   RPI1+.png   RPI2+0.png   RPI3+1.png   RPI4+2.png   RPI5+4.png   RPI6+4.png   RPI7+5.png   RPI8+6.png   RPI9+7.png
RPI0+.png   RPI1+0.png   RPI2+1.png   RPI3+2.png   RPI4+3.png   RPI5+5.png   RPI6+5.png   RPI7+6.png   RPI8+7.png   RPI9+8.png
RPI0+0.png   RPI1+1.png   RPI2+2.png   RPI3+3.png   RPI4+4.png   RPI5+6.png   RPI6+6.png   RPI7+7.png   RPI8+8.png   RPI9+9.png
RPI0+1.png   RPI1+2.png   RPI2+3.png   RPI3+4.png   RPI4+5.png   RPI5+7.png   RPI6+7.png   RPI7+8.png   RPI8+9.png
RPI0+2.png   RPI1+3.png   RPI2+4.png   RPI3+5.png   RPI4+6.png   RPI5+8.png   RPI6+8.png   RPI7+9.png   RPI9+-1.png
RPI0+3.png   RPI1+4.png   RPI2+5.png   RPI3+6.png   RPI4+7.png   RPI5+9.png   RPI6+9.png   RPI8+-1.png   RPI9+.png
RPI0+4.png   RPI1+5.png   RPI2+6.png   RPI3+7.png   RPI4+8.png   RPI6+-1.png   RPI7+-1.png   RPI8+.png   RPI9+0.png
RPI0+5.png   RPI1+6.png   RPI2+7.png   RPI3+8.png   RPI4+9.png   RPI6+.png   RPI7+.png   RPI8+0.png   RPI9+1.png
RPI0+6.png   RPI1+7.png   RPI2+8.png   RPI3+9.png   RPI5+-1.png   RPI6+0.png   RPI7+0.png   RPI8+1.png   RPI9+3.png
RPI0+7.png   RPI1+8.png   RPI2+9.png   RPI4+-1.png   RPI5+0.png   RPI6+1.png   RPI7+1.png   RPI8+3.png   RPI9+4.png
RPI0+8.png   RPI1+9.png   RPI3+-1.png   RPI4+.png   RPI5+1.png   RPI6+2.png   RPI7+3.png   RPI8+4.png   RPI9+5.png
RPI0+9.png   RPI2+.png   RPI3+0.png   RPI4+1.png   RPI5+3.png   RPI6+3.png   RPI7+4.png   RPI8+5.png   RPI9+6.png


where most are empty circles and only RPI0+0.png RPI1+1.png... RPI9+9.png are a green dot.

and the control page will then look like:

beacon rad-2 is in room 0 and beacon rad-1 is in room 3


naturally this can be made look nicer with a real floor plan, but I hope you get the principle

you could use a name instead of the green dot eg make "rad-1" "rad2" an image and replace RPI1-1.png for the 2 files with the image of the beacon and leave the empty images as is this would add one image file for each beacon per room (= 10 images for each beacon for 10 rooms - 10 times the same image but with a different name: abc9-0.pgn ... abc9-9.png if the name of the beacon/image is abc)

and with some modified parameters ( caption on image)

Re: piBeacon: 19- display in which room a beacon is

Do you really need ALL the blank states? I'll have to go home to make sure, but I was given to understand that for the "custom state" cases (ie +.png, +state_a.png, ..., +state_z.png), anything that didn't match any of the specified states got the default +.png image. If that's the case, you only need a "blank" NearPiN+.png and a "present" image NearPiN+N.png for each Pi... or is my understanding wrong?

I tried that and it did not work. Looking at the indigo code: it tries to find an image that is close to the current value .. and only if it does not find one it uses the default one.
