This Tracker Edge-based demo listens for BLE tags / beacons that advertise identifying information. It collects a list of tags it has seen and forwards that to the Particle Cloud periodically, when the Tracker device has a geolocation and a Particle Cloud connection.

In addition, this app can collect temperature and humidity information from an attached Tracker M8 Temperature/Humidity sensor

This app allows you to correlate the location of the Tracker with the tags it has seen and the local temperature and humidity conditions. This may be useful for eg warehouse or temperature-controlled inventory management.

The full source code is available in the tagsurveyor github repo

Here's a view of how this app reports beacons in the Particle Console:

Note that for safe shipping purposes, this app supports the Tracker shipping mode command: From the Particle Console, while the device is connected to the cloud, you can send the following from the "cmd" function: {"cmd":"enter_shipping"} This will cause the Tracker to power off and disconnect the battery so that the device will not awaken during shipment. Connecting the Tracker to USB will reawaken it.

This application may be built with Device OS version 3.0.0.
