Great! Can I help in any way?

Yes !

I'm on it. When, I will finish , You may try and report/correct all the mistakes in the wiki.

Edit :
An idea, if you really want to contribute, you could make screen shot of all the phase of your installation. This will help a lot. And if something goes wrong , I may help you in return.

All,

Could you publish here a link to the beacon you've bought ? This will help the next buyers.

here is the tested and working NUT2 that broadcast ble beacons even they are not paired:

http://www.banggood.com/Mini-Smart-Patc ... 88462.html

The following stop transmit ble beacons after a while. still can be used as PANIC BUTTONS:
http://www.banggood.com/Bluetooth-4_0-S ... 74320.html
http://www.banggood.com/Wifi-Smart-Blue ... 28944.html

I have ordered another type which it suppose to be programmed and wait to be delived so to perform validation:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7667 ... 7725846383

Also there TI SensorTag which is more than a simple tag as it incudes 9 sensors. It goes on deep sleep if no connection performed in 2 minutes so it not recommended.

Recently, I find out a review page for ble beacons and you can also purchase.

Hi Guys,

My hardware is:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1
This BT dongle is the smallest form I've ever seen, it's tiny! It works 1st time (I have 4 of them) but an be inserted upside down

I tried an ASUS dongle at twice the price and had to return it as it didn't play well with the RasPi.

Hi, jmleglise,
Is it ok if I run through the WIKI and correct a few spelling and grammar errors?
Your English is a 1,000,000X better than my French (I live on "vin" and "fromage" when I visit

Looks great!

I had to install requests (it was not installed on my RPI) as the check_beacon_presence.py script gave me error messages.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install requests

I run into a bunch of undeleted stuff half way, but was able to fix that with

Code: Select all

apt-get install libusb-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev automake libudev-dev libical-dev libreadline-dev

I cant seem to run the gatttool. Any idea?

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/bluez/bluez-5.39# sudo cp gatttool /usr/local/bin/
cp: cannot stat ‘gatttool’: No such file or directory

UPDATE: Was able to fix above with

sudo cp attrib/gatttool /usr/bin/

Now running the service is giving me a 404 error. Typo somewhere?

Code: Select all

ANOTHER UPDATE:
Found the typo and corrected the WIKI

Make that -
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmleg ... n_presence

Posted: **Saturday 21 May 2016 14:26**

Sorry for all the questions, but here's another error I'm getting

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# sudo /etc/init.d/check_beacon_presence start
[....] Starting check_beacon_presence (via systemctl): check_beacon_presence.serviceFailed to start check_beacon_presence.service: Unit check_beacon_presence.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Did you do the final -
sudo update-rc.d check_beacon_presence defaults

Posted: **Saturday 21 May 2016 15:18**

Got it, but must admit I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged, because now that I have everything up I have no idea how to get my switches or variables set up to actually show whether or not Im HOME or AWAY. Tried copying some of the LUA scripts, but I guess I just need to do some more research to learn.
