Interesting, so that means those ICE agents will be carrying cellphones.

And maybe those cellphones have bluetooth or wireless or iBeacon or some other signal that can be used to identify them across locations.

And maybe one of those locations might be where they are unmasked and identifiable 🤔

turns out, they're bluetooth locator beacons for tracking stuff (usually, personnel) across a property; and hotels apparently deploy these with a bluetooth dongle for their housekeeping staff as a panic button, because, uh, people are very bad! www.beaconzone.co.uk/UltraLongRan...

We have some interesting methods to scan for SemBeacons that will facilitate indoor positioning systems on iOS (which limits iBeacon scanning to hardcoded UUIDs). They will be documented soon!
Submitted my first iOS application for review (as an Android user). One second hand iPhone and a lot of cursing later...

Let's see how this goes @sembeacon.org

just checked in on my home assistant instance, it seems to have decided to start collecting nearby bluetooth devices like pokemon. unsure what the purpose of this is but i'll support it in its hobbies

Right, which is what I was talking about here, except iOS additionally blocks iBeacon protocol stuff behind fine-grained location permissions separately from Bluetooth as a whole, which I think is a strict improvement bsky.app/profile/rimu...
All that said, I much prefer what I understand to be iOS’s approach, which is that iBeacons are locked behind the location service permission which is separate from the general Bluetooth permission

Possible with a beacon

So often when I open #HomeAssistant to check something, I see a feature I hadn't noticed before and then go down a research hole learning about it.

Today's example was the iBeacon integration, which looks like it has potential.

One can create these beacons using ubiquitous ESP32 chips and 133 lines of code pre-written:

Maximizing Precision & Clarity at Scale

Drew Wollman from AbbVie’s SPaRCS group explains how the iBeacon instrument pushes 3D printing to balance tiny 300 µm features, optical clarity, surface quality, and maximum build volume.
