Quick Start
The receiver will try to connect WiFi hotspot that SSID = hello and password = 12345678 default.
- Turn on the "personal hotsport mode" for your mobile
- Change the SSID = hello and password = 12345678
- Power on the receiver
- Access the IP with browser if the receiver connected to your mobile
- Re-power the receiver. The receiver will connect a MQTT Broker provide by ApilBrother default. -
mqtt.bconimg.com - Download the free software [//mosquitto.org mosquitto] to access the beacon datas uploaded by the receiver.
Please refer the "How To Config" Section for more information.
=== 关于LED指示灯状态
- 绿色LED: 该指示灯表示网络正常且MQTT已经连接成功。无法在这个状态下使用WiFi Starter应用来配置设备。
Transport Protocol And Data Format
The transport protocol is MQTT. Here's a sample data.
{
"id":"ABCDEF123456",
"raw_beacons_data":"F4B85ED84CB7123456781234123412341234123412347DAD33B1C6FF41;0117C538C0CF23A01AF0232A45189C0E323FB773F5EF00100020B3FFB2;"
}
It's a json data. The key "id" is the MAC address for the receiver. The key named "raw_beacons_data" contains the beacon datas. The iBeacon datas are splitted by semicolon. The sample data
F4B85ED84CB7123456781234123412341234123412347DAD33B1C6FF41
| 字节 | 说明 | 示例 |
| 1 - 12 bytes | beacon的mac地址 | F4B85ED84CB7 |
| 13 - 44 bytes | iBeacon的UUID，共32字节 | 12345678123412341234123412341234 |
| 45 - 48 byte | major | 7DAD |
| 49 - 52 byte | minor | 33B1 |
| 53, 54 byte | measured power，减去255之后就是实际的值 | C6 |
| 55, 56 byte | 电量，按百分比计，如没有获得电量，用FF代替 | FF |
| 57, 58 byte | RSSI，减去255之后就是实际的值 | 41 |
