So as you review various project descriptions, check the version of android that the author is using as it will make a big difference.Īlso, with the cost of radius networks eddystone-capable “radbeacon dot” beacon device down to $14, there’s less reason to create virtual beacons from phones these days.Īgain, since I already have a network of Android devices in my house (and will be adding more over time as I add to my collection of wall-mounted home automation control panels running SmartTiles, LANnouncer, etc), even at that low price, it’s still cheaper to do what I’m suggesting here in this thread…that is, IF we can find a way to do it (that said, I still clicked the link, and will probably at least buy one just to see what it’s like). Just be aware that the ability to do this has changed with different versions of the android operating system, with newer versions having less ability to do it.

Use a low-power Beacon device of some sort in my pocket as the transmitterĪgain, since the Receiving Station end of this setup will no doubt use more power than a Beacon, just let the stationary devices be the Receiving Stations and get a cheapo Bluetooth Beacon to carry in my pocket. Have the wall-mounted/stationary devices act as 'Receiving Stations’Īs much as I was initially excited about the idea of the stationary devices acting as the Beacons, since the ‘Receiving Station’ seems to use more power than the simple Beacon device, it probably makes more sense to let the stationary devices do the heavy work since they will always be plugged into AC power anyway.

POINTS IN MY CURRENT TREND RESULTING FROM THE DISCUSSION BELOW So, I modified the title of this thread to reflect that widening of my scope on this.

There are also our iOS devices (if any are or could be stationary), our Windows, Mac & Linux computers, etc.īasically, I want to find out if there are ways of using ANY of these otherwise-stationary devices that have Bluetooth radios as Bluetooth Beacons. So, if there is some kind of app that already brings this capability to Android, or if anybody knows a way of doing something like this with Tasker/SharpTools/WhateverElse, please let me know.ĮDIT: I just realized that my ‘farm’ of available Bluetooth devices is much wider than just the Androids that I have mounted on the walls.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the wall-mounted Androids to start sending out Bluetooth ‘beacon signals’ so that I can use them for micro-presence. I already know how to get the generated info from my pocket-phone into SmartThings when the time comes. Since I already have a few (and will add more over time) Android devices mounted on walls around the house to run SmartTiles, LANnouncer, and other things, I figure I might as well take advantage of the fact that they have Bluetooth radios too, and start building my micro-presence bluetooth ‘mesh’ (I know, not really the best term, but that’s not my area lol ) with what I already have on-hand. I get that, but I want the Android to be the Beacon itself so that I can use them in my future micro-presence strategy. I’m not wondering about using the Android device as a ‘Receiving Station’ of Beacon reports from iBeacons. Now, I’m wondering if it would be possible to use Android devices with Bluetooth radios (phones, tablets, TVs, etc) as Bluetooth ‘Beacons’. I know about and (thanks to ( here) think I understand the concept of iBeacons.
