Eye Devices ready to use
The easiest way to get started with beacons is to use the Teltonika's Eye Devices. All you need to do is just unbox them.
Eye Beacons are designed to make your wireless experience effortless, there is not need to make adjustments configuration, the devices are pre-configured and ON from factory, this ensures rapid deployment.
Devices work constantly and are ready to perform out of the box. Default basic Sensor settings are set to:
• Transmitting at 2 dBm power.
• Data advertising at 5 second intervals.
• Eddystone(for EYE Beacon) Eddystone and Sensors(for EYE Sensor) protocol
You can find detailed information about how to configure those parameters below:
Beacon Configuration and data sending
EYE APP Overview
Eye sensors are ready to use from factory, however, you can change your beacon parameters according to your needs. Eye App is Teltonika dedicated application for Eye sensor/beacon configuration.
- Eye App first screen will show you available Eye Beacons/sensors reachable, press on you beacon to access next screen
- Eye App second screen shows ID information and Firmware information, press on the icon to access beacon parameters
- Eye App third screen allows you to change Beacon Name, TX power, Advertising interval, Packet settings.
Beacon configuration (Setting your tracking device for Beacon usage)
Below are short instructions which show how we recommend configuring the device to Enable the Beacon functionality for testing.
Steps to follow according to the visual representation
- In System Settings Enable Codec8 Extended;
- In Bluetooth settings Enable Bluetooth, set this setting as either "Enable (hidden)" or "Enable (visible)", otherwise Bluetooth will be disabled;
- In Bluetooth 4.0 settings, set Non Stop Scan to "Disable", configure "Update Frequency" and "Scan duration" as 30 seconds. These settings will bring the best results for BLE scanning with our device;
- In Beacon list settings, configure Beacon Detection as "All" and Beacon Record as "Eventual". This will detect all surrounding Beacons and create Beacon records every 30 seconds.
Beacon data parsing
Shown how Beacon data is represented on Wialon platform.
Parsing of Beacon records
Beacon records are sent as separate Records with Event I/O ID 385 and also include I/O element 385 (Codec8 Extended has to be used because the I/O element 385 uses Variable size IO element).
Received data in hexadecimal stream:
