Febr 2015 19:00 Source of the text and free of charge registration In our first meetup in 2015 we will cover important wireless technologies for the “last mile” of IoT applications. We will learn how senders and receivers aka antennas and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices can […]
To detect the presence or or to detect something out of range is often an important information. Close to 20 years ago my daughter was hiding behind the curtain during relieve nature. She was sitting behind the curtain at the living room and if we cried for her we got no answer. At out apartment […]
As promised I will write some further lines about BLE applications today. The examples shall give you some ideas what to do with Bluetooth Low energy. Bluetooth Low Energy can be used to detect the presence at your laptop on Windows 8. As soon as your BLE key-fob is out of range the screen saver […]
What to do with Bluetooth Low Energy? Which applications can we cover? Several short articles shall give you an idea for useful applications on BLE. The first article is related to my lost key-fob. BLE beacon at key-fob (1) Estimated twenty-five years ago I lost my keys at the ruins of Corinth in Greece. I […]
Dear Santa, please be so kind and help me with a pan on Bluetooth Low Energy. I know that you are busy these days. Do you have a minute left to grab an intelligent pan with Low Energy for me? Cooking is one of my hobbies. BTW if you have beacons on your wish list […]
iBeacon are radio devives on in 2400 MHz range. They use the new Bluetooth 4.0 specification. BT 4.0 is split in classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy was previously called Bluetooth Ultra Low Power, and in early 2001, was WiBree. “Wi” for wireless, and “Bree” for Bree in the Lord of the […]
Question about Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in home automation to me: Q: I’m working for an IoT start-up and we are looking at BT 4.0 for communication in home automation. We would really like to know about your opinion about BT 4.0, while we have ZigBee and other protocols for home automation, I feel the […]
For some reasons Apple was brainwashing the whole world. The whole world means that the iBeacon is the only beacon. iBeacons are stupid. iBeacon only really transmit their ID around the clock. Apple has not invented Bluetooth Low Energy. Apple even did not invent the Bluetooth Low Energy beacon. They just registered the trademark iBeacon […]
Do you have a wireless project? Do you plan a re-design? Do you want to reduce the costs of your IoT / M2M application? Your answer is “yes” to one of these questions – then let us meet at Electronica in Munich – the place to go. You can find me in Hall A4 Booth […]
