Read full description

Beacon Nav turns a floor-plan photo into a working indoor map. Import a drawing, place Bluetooth beacons on it, draw walkable routes, and navigate from where you are to a room or exit. Optional sensing can notify you when you reach a placed beacon and can trigger Home Assistant automations on your own server. A Wi‑Fi survey mode pins signal and performance on the same plan. What’s included • Floor plans — import images, set scale, watch multiple levels • Beacons — scan Bluetooth or use Demo on Simulator, bind devices, mute per marker • Navigate — scan start, pick a destination, follow the route graph • Wi‑Fi surveys — pin the joined network, heat maps, compare sessions, PDF reports • Home-screen widget and Live Activity for current indoor location • Optional Home Assistant arrive / leave / return actions • Share floor packs, calibration, beacon lists, and full backups via AirDrop or Files Beacon Nav stores maps on this device. There is no Beacon Nav cloud account. Home Assistant is optional and uses the URL and token you enter. A sample first-floor plan is included so you can try the app before importing your building.
