BlueScope vs BAPI BLE Scanner

BlueScope turns your phone into a Bluetooth radar. See the signal, know the distance, and find your devices quickly. # QUICKLY FIND DEVICES Find your Bluetooth devices by watching the signal strength and distance change as you move. # MANAGE BLUETOOTH DEVICE LIST Bluetooth devices come and go out of range. BlueScope lets you create and maintain your own device list in a simple to use and feature rich user interface. # SMART DEVICE IDENTIFICATION* Automatically identify devices and display relevant icon or symbol representing the device so you can know the device type visually. BlueScope can also identify device models and shows model information for devices that share model info. # AUTO DETECT YOUR DEVICES* BlueScope attempts to detect devices you own and have already connected to your iPhone or iPad, and automatically adds them to your managed device list, so you can dive right into the core experience of the app. # EXTENDED DEVICE INFORMATION* With Extended Device Information, you can see device model, device icon, Tx Power, UUID (device id), and battery level for supported devices. # LOST & FOUND NOTIFICATIONS* Receive Lost & Found Notifications when your Bluetooth devices go out of range or when they are found nearby. BlueScope can send you notifications even when the app is running in the background. Just activate the alerts and let BlueScope do all the work. # MAP AND LOCATION* View your device's last known location on a map. With Location Services enabled, you can still see where it was when it went out of range, and with notifications on, you'll get an alert when it's nearby again. # DIRECTIONS TO LOST DEVICE* When Location Services are enabled, you can get directions to the last known saved location of your lost device. Apple Maps & Google Maps are supported. # PLAY SOUND ON DEVICE* Play sound on supported devices to easily locate them.

The BAPI BLE Scanner app provides a simple way to check if BAPI’s wireless sensors will work in your environment. The app automatically scans your environment for BLE devices and displays them with their RSSI value, giving you and indication of the signal strength in your environment. Using the BAPI BLE Scanner app and one of BAPI’s wireless sensors, you can test your environment to see if to see how reliably a wireless sensor system will perform. BAPI’s wireless system consists of sensors and gateways. Sensors will send readings to the gateway, the gateway can then send readings to our cloud monitoring system or to an HVAC system. You can use the BAPI BLE Scanner to perform a site verification in your environment. Contact BAPI to order one of our wireless sensors. Once you receive your sensor, power it on and place it at a location that you want to measure. Open the BAPI BLE Scanner app on your smart device and position yourself where you would like to place a gateway. You can adjust the settings to only see BAPI wireless devices. You can then look at the RSSI value to determine if the sensor will be able to communicate reliably with the gateway and adjust the gateway or sensor position as needed. You can then repeat this process for each point you want to measure. The BAPI BLE Scanner makes it easy to determine how many sensors and gateways you will need for your environment and where to place them. You can then be confident that your wireless system will be able to communicate reliably. Contact us to start the site verification process
