Waterproof beacon suggestions

Post by Sofabutt »

I am klooking to replace my XY 1 beacons with something that is waterproof that I can attach to some clothing items like shoes, jackets, etc.

I have searched for XY beacons for sale and all I have found are XY 4s.

Anyone have any suggestions that will meet my needs?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Waterproof beacon suggestions

Post by kw123 »

the only water proof IPxx beacons i know are the IB03x series of beacons, BUT they are ugly and clunky and can not be beeped

my current favorites are
SpotyPal
Nutale looks nice
and Nonda-iHere or Nonda - Aiko rechargeable batteries ( ~ 4 week of battery before recharge is needed)
All can be beeped - send a beep command to the beacon from plugin action or menu

But they are not water prove ie can not take into the pool, a little rain should be fine -- they are not worse than the XY beacons in terms of water sensitivity

check out the file beacon types and BLE-sensorsTypes.txt in the plugin directory (download latest version)
