Beacon Tuner for Android Devices
One effective way to position alarms indoors is to install what are known as iBeacons. iBeacons continuously transmit a signal containing their location. Our alarm app can pick up this signal and use it to pinpoint the location of the alerting device. Beacon Tuner is an app we have developed to simplify the installation of new Beacons. The app displays a list of all active Beacons, with the nearest Beacon appearing at the top of the list. The app makes it easy to sort Beacons by assigning a colour to any Beacon of your choice. A colour can, for example, indicate which floor of a building a Beacon is located on, or flag one that needs to be updated. The app also shows the battery level of each Beacon and indicates when one needs to be replaced. Battery levels are automatically uploaded to the Self-Service Portal, which also provides an overview of all Beacons — making it easy to see if any Beacon requires a battery replacement. This solution makes it straightforward to keep track of all Beacons in a building and verify that the correct settings are configured on each one. We are currently in the final testing phase and expect to launch Beacon Tuner in April.
