Forgive me, new user not very familiar with bluetooth, so I had a really hard time digging through all these posts trying to find out what was current or still valid, or how to do stuff, and am still quite unsure of many things.
Ok so pi is booted, connected to Indigo, got a pile of beacons that showed up...
I would like to add my iPhone, via some manner, what is easiest way?
If someone could post simple instructions, that would be great.
I see stuff about beacon, BLEconnect, other stuff filtering on uuid, but it isn't clear to me how to figure out what to put where.
I noticed looking in the
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.4/Logs/com.karlwachs.piBeacon/plugin.log I see some failure to download..

What is MAP2Vendor, and why can't it download?
So I have a ton of beacons showing up... I haven't seen any write up on just how to figure out what they all are.
What is the best way to figure out how to map beacons to physical devices so they can be properly named/tracked?
I've read mention about "dumping beacon info" but no info on how to do that.
It would be most helpful to have step by step instructions for any answers, please.
I actually find the interface on the plugin to remotely trigger stuff, then jump into a Terminal window to read some log, harder to work with, than simply ssh'ing into the pi and running commands there.
That seems more direct and easier to follow, but can work with either with explicit instructions.
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
