BLE Indoor tracking System - help needed

AbdelilahSadre

Hey guys, as u saw in the title we are working on an indoor tracking for tracking operators inside the company, we are using BLE beacons on the operators and we wanna track them using GPS tracked fixed in around the company space, the tracker i have in hand for testing is FMC150 from teltonika and BLE beacons.
i tried looking at the forum and the solutions provided i succeded to fix the position of the fmc150 using the item-fields plugin, but i need help in setting up the beacons to be detected with exact position around the space. Will appreciate any help in that matter, thank you.

You need ble-indoor-position plugin. See this plugin, it fully explains your case.

In my case, i'm using the opposite, its the tracker that has a fixed position and i wanna track the BLE beacon thats moving.

Another thing is, is it possible to track the actual position of the ble beacon, or im forced to assign the tracker's coordinates to it whenever it detects it.

AbdelilahSadre That's quite challenging task, ble-indoor-position won't work in this case: you need to use special channel - ble beacons
after that you need to create separate device for each beacon of type "BLE Beacon", and then modify the position using plugin (msg-expression type opr msg-pvm-code).
You may give me a message in flespi chat (top right corner of your flespi.io account) and I'll assist you further.

thanks for your response, now i'm using 3 other trackers all are fmc150 from teltonika, using them in a fixed position im tracking the beacon's position using the RSSI returned from the 3 trackers.

how can in the ble-beacons channel a new field that converts the RSSI to distance, i have the Mathematical formula that does that. but i'm looking to automate the process. thank u
