Domoticz

Does someone know a solution when using System Alive Checker (Ping) with iPhone?

On Android it works perfect, but on iPhone it kills the connection when the screen is locked Found some topics on the internet but no fix

Also search or months to solve this. Now playing around with iBeacon modules and a python script...

Presence is working when I use locative. When you go inside a range or outside it will send a http link to Domotic. But I want a second presence option. When you don't have your mobile data network on it will turn your presence also on using other method.

Tried locative and that works. Only when going out it doesn't work because i use VPN to connect to Domoticz. Wi-Fi is a better option because you don't need GPS location for it..

Someone got a working solution?

I tried a tracker and iBeacon. Not ok. Many times the tracker disconnect and reconnect so that means I'm gone but still in the house.... Will be hard to find a good solution

ping and iOS cannon live together...
iOS devies does not answer even out of standby
andorid's works but drain battery fast

a good way to achieve it is gain arp tables from the router (if available) or use TR-069 with the router to retreive active leases

I use this method and it works pretty good

that's a low battery issue.
you have to add a delay time (I use to wait 10 minutes from the last state change) before take actions

I test the battery and give me up to 75%. I add those as a second check. My partner don't have mobile data on all the time, and when he comes home then iBeacon will act also haha I use locative and work very good. I have always Mobile Data on... When leaving the area and when enter it... work always more for a year now.

Beacons have a specific time window in which you can interact with them... NUT uses 45secs, Tile 60 Secs and other compatible devices uses 60secs
this means that if you have a continuous scan or a small time window; yes, they will disappear even if they are not.
the bash script available in the Wiki should be cinfgured witha 60sec of pause between scans

for beacon I used a node red flow with an async time windows. it works like this

scan for 60secs, then it looks for the specific mac address (UUID) and [de]activate the respective idx in domoticz.
Then: if macs were found, scan is paused for 600secs (10 mins), if none has found, pause 60secs, and then restart.

this works pretty good, but I start having problems with batteries: they drain too fast (due to NUT 2 and, I think, low quality batteries)
so I actually moved to TR-069 protocol from my Fritz router to get the mobile phones attached to my wifi.

Actyally I'm using all of this... and it works perfetcly

Thanks for the info. I use the TrackR Pixel devices.
Will check the delay time for scanning.
