I've purchased 2 sets of estimote dev kits, unable to get any consistent enough beaconing to do anything useful related to home automation.
I'm not alone, a few of my friends also play with home automation and none of us can get any given estimote among dozens to beacon reliably. They all work, just maybe 10% - 30% of the time.
Is this your app, the beacons, the technology, bad expectations... what could everyone be doing wrong that nobody can get a better than coin toss chance of detecting proximity to a beacon?
Will this mesh tech make any difference?
// FWIW, seems to be all beacons, not just yours, and all apps, not just yours. It's like the concept of expecting reliability is broken.
I have had 5 different ideas for projects just looking at your site. I currently work in an education company with little one's and there are a few ideas that would be awesome in a 3-5 year old age group. It would also be great as a research tool to figure out where children are spending their time in the classrooms during the day.
