DoBeacon

The DoBeacon app is used as a control point for DoBeacons. It can scan for beacons you own, and gives the ability to configure single beacons, or even configure them all at once using their mesh network.

DoBeacons are plugs for power sockets which use the iBeacon protocol to advertise themselves. As such, they do not rely on a battery and can advertise at full power and/or full frequency without limiting their lifespan. They use a mesh network to relay messages, detect changes in their network topology and can compensate for nodes going on/offline at runtime. They can be used for indoor localization, as beacons for smartphones to localize at room level, but can also themselves keep track of BLE devices in their vicinity.

Main features:
- Configurable: minor, major, UUID, signal strength and advertisement frequency.
- Self monitoring: the beacons will detect when a beacon is taken away.
- Mesh network: configure DoBeacons from a central point.
- Software update: over the air (OTA), update wirelessly.
- Self monitoring: the beacons will detect when a beacon is taken away or moved.
