Ble Beacon Indoor Location tracking help needed

ktakyi

Greetings Team,
I am very new here and only joined today, I have been searching for a solution I can implement in Wialon, and one of their support tech point me to flespy.

PROBLEM BACKGROUND
I am currently looking for a way to set up Indoor-tracking using Ble or Wirepas enabled Sensors.
The Ble sensors will be connected to a gateway such as Teltonika RUTX11 or Similar hardware.
Since the solution will be used for Indoor-Facility trackings such as hospitals, Offices, and Warehousing, motorized and non-motorized equipment such as hospital beds, Medica equipment, persons, etc.

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Digitalized existing Floor plans
Upload the floor plan to flespi or Wialon.
Placed Beacon Ancor at some designated location on the map to act as router[or beacon reader]
Assigned Ble tags to assets, persons, and the rooms to Monitor temperature, humidity, movement, doors [opening and closing].
Hardware : Magnetic Sensor, Movement Sensor,Gateway, ID sensors,

OBJECTIVE
Ability to track persons such as doctors, cleaners nurses, etc to where they have been and the room or location visited.
Whereabout of equipment, temperature, humidity, ambient light, CO2, room occupancy, etc.
Run reports on person movement, check how manytimes a cleaner visits rest/washroom to clean there.
Have realtime information about handpaper towel usage etc.
A similar solution is found here:

Almost similar Solution in Flespi: https://flespi.com/blog/ble-beacons-for-indoor-navigation

I will appreciate any advice and help from the honorable members.

ktakyi Your task can be solved with flespi

create Teltonika channel and configure your static Teltonika devices report BLE beacons data to your new channel
create BLE beacons channel as described in step 2 of this article
register static Teltonika device as BLE Gateway fix by filling in device IMEI and static GPS coordinates
register moving BLE beacons as BLE Beacons by specifying its UUID
floor plans can be displayed with MQTT Tiles
I suggest you to start implementing your idea and contact flespi team in chat (top right corner of your https://flespi.io account when you proceed with data connection).

There are some open questions: e.g. there is no information on Teltonika wiki that RUTX devices can report beacons data, so it will require some improvements on our side which is totally not a problem.

Looking forward to hear from you in flespi chat. I think we will share some result screenshots here or maybe even write an article in flespi blog together!

Professor Baja you are a legend, you do not know how grateful I am for your support. I have already created a channel for my teltonika fmb130 device. I create another channel for the BLe as you have suggested., you did mention that floor plans can be displayed as MQTT files, to be honest, I have no clue about MQTT as am very new here.
I will appreciate it if you can send me a link to the tutorials on MQTT
