QUESTION

iOS cannot detect pibeacon signals properly

Asked 2018-Jun-30 at 21:27

I turned my raspberry pi to ibeacon transmitter, but my iPhone cannot detect my pibeacon signals for ranging, for example, it cannot say( push notification) whenever it's close( in the immediate distance) to pibeacon. However, my phone is working properly with other kinds of USB beacons such as Bluegiga and Radbeacon. Has anyone ever faced the same problem?

iOS devices will not detect iBeacons packets unless the ProximityUUID of the beacon packet is pre-configured into the iOS app that is searching for them. Based on the commands shown in the question, the ProximityUUID being configured with the Pi is 43F2ACD1-5522-4E0D-9E3F-4A828EA12C25

It may just be that the iOS app you are using to try to detect it as an iBeacon packet is not pre-configured to look for the above ProximityUUID.

Non-beacon BLE apps on iOS can see your Pi's advertisements, so the fact that non-beacon apps detect it can still mean this is the problem.

If you are successful in using a beacon app to detect a RadBeacon, it can probably detect the default RadBeacon Proximity UUID of 2F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6. If your app can detect that, try configuring that into your Raspberry Pi start advertising command like this:

QUESTION

Sending ibeacon and eddystone packets simultaneously

Asked 2017-May-02 at 13:21

I want to send ibeacon and eddystone packets simultaneously from one beacon(PiBeacon). Actually, I'm running different commands in 2 terminals, each one for one of those protocols with an interval time, it works and it sounds good, but I just want to know if there is a smarter way to do that?

Using a time interval to switch back and forth between two beacon transmissions is a pretty standard approach called "interleaving". It is often used on both embedded hardware beacon transmitters as well as software beacons like the PiBeacon. When using a single Bluetooth chip that supports only a single advertisements, this is the best approach available.

Bottom line: You are doing the right thing.

QUESTION

Sending more packets via my PiBeacon

Asked 2017-May-01 at 14:53

I configure my Raspberry Pi BLE to send packets of iBeacon, but with my detector, I cannot detect my PiBeacon packets as fast as some of the pre-configured beacons such as estimote or radbeacon. I could not find a way to send more packets with my Raspberry or how I can configure that to make it better and more discoverable, Anyone has experience about this? Is something like that even feasible?

By default, Linux BlueZ will set up manufacturer advertisements to be advertised once per second. You can increase the advertising rate to 10Hz or more as described in my answer here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/21126744/1461050

That said, this isn't going to make a huge difference in how quickly you discover the beacon -- it typically will change the discovery time from ~1000ms to ~100ms. If you are seeing much slower detection times, you may be facing a different problem requiring a more detailed description of what you are seeing.
