[APP][Pro] Beacon - Detect your presence with BLE beacons

Read the Q&A in the OP.

Q3 Is the app compatibel with v2.0.0?

All the functionality is the same in the v2 compatibel version: v1.2.0 . All issues of not triggering flowcards are resolved in the newest RC as wel. Except for the discovery of the beacon itself. That does not give 'live results as mentioned in de skd-app issue ticket to athom on github. Athom is looking for a fix for this issue ‘soon’ untill than the app wil not be compatibel.

You don’t have to re-add the beacons if the issue is resolved, there is nothing changed about the driver and devices itself.

This is what Emile said yesterday: All BLE issues: We will address this issue in a 2.x release. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks @Koktail and @Peter_de_Vos

So, your App is working but it’s a Athom issue that prevents the beacons from being discovered in the current v2.0 firmware.

I guess I’ll wait for the v2.x (hope that it’s not v2.9…) release :slight_smile:

Unfortunately it didn’t help. It stopped working again after x-hours. I’m mailing Athom support…

Have you send a log to the developer when this happend?

For the people that don’t follow a lot of threads on the forum: I’m asking for support for a second Homey to make my home automation stable for myself. Every small donation is very much appreciated! :hugs:

Please do not feel obligated to donate. if you are not in the position or if you want using the app for free it is your right to do so.

I can do that again; but last time you didn’t see anything. So I assumed that would be the case again.

And; I was doing those steps and it all worked. It’s after a x hours that it stops

Please add your brand/type to the list!

Beacon name Max range (through concrete)
Tile Pro 8m
Tile Mate 8m
Nordic nRF51822 5m
iTag Turns off after 15 minutes

How can i add these to homey? I can’t get it done by the tile android app? I’ve bought two rf51822 beacons but homey (2.0)won’t detect them.

There is a bug in 2.0 which makes this app unusable for now :s. Not the apps fault

The. 1 rc 2 doesn’t seem to fix it… Looking at the log

Ok, thank you victor. I thought it was fixed allready…

not?

Everyone should send an issue about BLE, has been broken and an issue since 12 december 2018.

No Homey currently has a bug with in which stops BLE reporting after it pairs.
