Ah, great! Thanks, bud. TIL indeed haha
IDK why itās a āhiddenā feature. You know what youāre doing if you use test version apps, so why not provide the link for it if a test version is available.
I also run into an bug in the BLE binding: BLE discovery gives no advertisements Ā· Issue #202 Ā· athombv/homey-apps-sdk-issues Ā· GitHub
Yes, I discovered the advertisements @ advanced settings were empty.
Else, itās working fine again overhere. Flows arenāt triggered too much anylonger and detection is fairly good, I have to fiddle a bit with the time-out and verification settings.
Hey @Peter_Kawa can you pls share your settings? Have updated to the test version but my Tile Pro still keeps ducking in and out ever few minutes.
Itās not 100% yet. (Running v6.1.0-rc.1)
My beacons report out and back in every x mins/hours, not a pattern I can discover.
Note the gap in the log (long version below screenshot) between 02:41AM and 10:57AM today:

(AND, I just unticked Display non-static afdresses anyway
to see if it makes a difference. But my beacons have static addresses, soā¦)

Hello,
I collaborated with @Koktail for the new version of the Beacon app.
First of all, even though the Homey firmware 6.0.0 has relevant improvements for the Bluetooth support, still there are some minor issues that are preventing the Beacon app from working at its best. Maybe the upcoming Homey firmware 6.1.0 will solve the problemsā¦ Meanwhile the settings recommended by @Peter_de_Vos should work well (they work well also for me; if the detection is still unreliable, the parameter āverification amount outside rangeā can be raised from 5 to 6 or higher values).
In addition to the new features announced by @Koktail there are two other minor features in v1.3.0:
I wrote a short technical guide about the Beacon app and beacon devices. Those interested in a technical documentation can find it here.
Best Regards
Piero
(Running v6.1.0-rc.1)
No Beacon status changed after my last log. (Beacons didnāt move).
Anyhow, Iāll try the 30/30 sec settings
Test version + 30/30 sec + verificationoutsiderange = 15 seems to do the trick. No false detections inside/outside range in 18 hrs.
Thanks for the swift action.
Regards,
Paul
@Koktail @Piero_F Is there any chance that Appleās new Airtags are going to work with the Beacon app in the (near) future?
I use a flow with an doorsensor on a timer:
Hello @Nox,
What you ask for does not depend on our will or our ability. To use Airtags that advertises an encrypted ID, Apple must provide developers with a resolver service (a cloud service that takes as input the encrypted content of the Bluetooth advertisement and returns the ID of a registered Airtag). Does Apple offer this service? I donāt think so. What I understand is that Apple currently offer a cloud service for tracking your stuff (Same as TileĀ®).
Anyway, Iām currently testing a beacon device with similar features (size, shape, case protection degree). Iāll let you know within 10 days.
30, 30,1,11 gave a few false positives the last 2 days. So confirmed
Hi @Piero_F, I fully realised upfront this wasnāt depending on your will or ability. I asked mainly because I didnāt know if the AirTag provided (sends out) the necessary information for you guys to get it working. The only thing I see (with my n00b eyes) is that it is a similar device to Tile Pro which does work. I thought that the AirTag would send out some BLE signal (so it can be found with iPhone when close enough) that Beacon app could pick up and that it āonlyā needed to be added to the app as ācompatible deviceā to get this working. But obviously there is more to it than that. I will crawl back Iām my n00b cave so you can continue your work
I have installed the Itag bluetooth tracker and am testing it. 1st day went well. setting: 30,30,1.15
After a PTP and fresh batteries for both my beacons, I am now at 32,25,1,6 without false aways.
Thx! I copied your settings, I still had a few false positives, even when 1 beacon lies next to Homey
No false positive for 4 days in a row. works fine
