I’ve also rc-2. My 2 tiles are reconised now but i can’t use a tag, is this normal? (I use the cheap chinese ones) ---

Hello Koktail, can you help. My Gigaset Keeper change not her Stats. They are allways: Detected. Have you an Idea? Homey is 2.05rc2. Bacon App deinstall, install and Update to Beta does not working. With homey 1.5 it was perfekt working. ---

Top everything works, thanks, Update: Beacon says the tile is connected but there is no change to see if you are 100 meters removed. What happened who can help me ---

They should be public discoverable. ---

The discovery time when pairing seems very short. As my fobs only transmit about once per minute, I have to repeat the pairing process many times to catch the signal. I think my alarm broadcasts a signal and the fobs respond after a random delay. I have played with the Discovery timeout to see if that helps but it doesn’t seem to affect the pairing. Any chance it could wait longer with an abort button? ---

I have 2 tiles named to different persons in my house. If i make a flow i can’t use a tag with a name. I can only choose “if a beacon is detected” and not which one. Am i doing something wrong? ---

@Koktail Is it possible that the beacons are again visible under insights? Thank you in advance. ---

Then you use probably the app trigger. Make sure you pick the device trigger with the name of the person ---

The problem is in the signal frequenty of you BLE device. It has to be less then 500 ms for a good working presence detection. Sometimes the transmit frequency can be adjusted. ---

It is a boolean value (in range/out range) and they are not exposed by Athom in the insights. ---

Unfortunately I have no control over the fobs as they are part of my alarm system. Once they are paired it works well. It’s just the discovery time time during pairing that’s a problem for me. The pairing discovery times out and says no devices found after about 2 seconds which is very quick. My alarm seems to broadcast when a door sensor is activated so the fobs respond to disabled the alarm. But the pairing timeout is to quick for me to get the timing right, so I can’t start pairing and open a door quick enough. ---
