My support issue about this ( BLE issue on V2) was closed yesterday afternoon. Does that mean they think it is fixed in rc11? ---

I just purchased two tile pros and added them to Homey. And somehow they stay on Detected Yes, while the tile isn’t in range anymore. What did I do wrong? ---

First I did not, since the tutorial didn’t say I should. Then it wasn’t working. So I did. Then it seemed to work, disabled Bluetooth in the app. And now, day later. Continuously it states they are detected. ---

Hi have an iPhone, but for my understanding. Why do I need to completely delete it? They can not communicate with eatch other anymore. How does this technology work? Should I re-add them after I deleted the app. ---

Presence detection with beacons. I don’t always take my phone with me and WIFI is not reliable in my case. ---

Are there people that use the app with another beacon as described in the readme? Will you please share your experience of the range in the app’s topic? That way other people can make a good choice of using the correct beacons. ---

A BLE peripheral will ‘advertise’ its services, basically sending a broadcast for anyone to hear. When the BLE is connected to anything (your phone for example) it stops broadcasting. So that explains why you should turn bluetooth on your phone **off** , or better remove the factory app for you BLE device. (Sometimes another app will turn off BLE, and then the beacon is also connected that will result in an ‘outside zone’ trigger). ---

So I deleted the app (which i think isn’t the issue since it was disabled), and then I checked whether the already added beacons were working. They remained stating detected Yes. Then I tried adding them again. Couldn’t because it stated no devices found. Then deleted the beacons, and tried adding them again. Still no device found. Removed battery from the beacon. Still no device found. What I will do now is app-restart and p2p. Meanwhile any suggestions? ---

A p2p made the devices visible again. Will test it tomorrow [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-beacon-detect-your-presence-with-ble-beacons/3550.md?page=4) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-beacon-detect-your-presence-with-ble-beacons/3550.md?page=6)
