Puck.js scanner for Ruuvitag beacons
Use your Puck.js bluetooth beacon to scan and get info from nearby Ruuvitag bluetooth beacons.
As the name of the project implies, you need to have one Puck.js beacon and one or more Ruuvitag beacons.
- Have your Puck.js and Ruuvitag beacons in range.
- Upload file PuckjsRuuvitagScanner.js in you Puck.js beacon.
- Once uploaded, Puck.js will start to scan for Ruuvitag beacons and display info about them (Blue led will flash each time a scan is taking place).
The command to start scanning and show info is:
RuuviTagScanner.startScanning(function(tags) { console.log(tags); });
Output will have the format (if two Ruuvitag beacons are in range):
RuuviTag {
"macAddress": "f6:8c:ac:03:a6:73",
"name": "f6:8c:ac:03:a6:73",
"temperature": 21,
"humidity": 52,
"pressure": 996 },
RuuviTag {
"macAddress": "e4:b0:90:c7:12:a9",
"name": "e4:b0:90:c7:12:a9",
"temperature": 21,
"humidity": 52,
"pressure": 996 }
]
Of course the callback function in startScanning method can be changed as per user desires.
The command to stop scanning is:
RuuviTagScanner.stopScanning();
Temperature, humidity and pressure data decoding algorithms have been sourced from another great github project ruuvitag-sensor
