Wialon and EYE proximity
Introduction
Teltonika Eye Beacons have 2 new scenarios related to RSSI value. RSSI means “Received Signal Strength Indicator” and this value can be use as distance indicator, or to know if the Beacon is detected by the FM tracker.
Following sections describe Proximity and Lost & Found Scenarios.
Lost & Found Scenario
Purpose of this functionality is to periodically generate records with all EYE Beacon list (AVL ID: 10828) and create eventual On Change records only when EYE Beacon is lost (AVL ID: 10831) or found (AVL ID: 10829).
Lost and Found Beacon records only include EYE Beacon which was lost or found, not the full Beacon list.
Configuration
Common Settings
We need to set up proper Protocol and Bluetooth settings in order to have beacons information
- In System Settings Enable Codec 8 Extended.
- In Bluetooth settings Enable Bluetooth®, set this setting as either "Enable (hidden)" or "Enable (visible)", otherwise Bluetooth® will be disabled.
Proximity Scenario
EYE beacon Proximity events is a functionality which creates three different types of records, depending on the captured Beacons RSSI level. This functionality is only supported with Teltonika EYE beacons.
Proximity events consist of near, away and lost events:
- When EYE beacon RSSI level is below the first configured threshold, the beacon will be added to Near Beacon Record (AVL ID: 10828)
- When EYE BEACON RSSI level is between the second and first configured threshold, beacon is added to Away Beacon record (AVL ID: 10829)
- When EYE Beacon RSSI level is lower than the second configured threshold, beacon is added to Lost Beacon record (AVL ID: 10831). In the case of EYE Beacon disappearing from the environment and not being detected by the FM tracker anymore, the beacon will be added to Lost Beacon record and will be removed from Beacon list.
