Bluemix Presence Insights beacon connector exit event


I'm using IBM Presence Insights with my Android App + Estimote SDK. The SDK picks up the Beacon UUID, major and minor upon entry. Next, it successfully sends the event to PI. However, how do I send the exit event to PI since there's no "exit" API or parameter?


Solution

  • Exit events are automatically generated by Presence Insights when:

    1. The device is detected by another beacon, at a different zone.
    2. The device is not detected for a period greater than Device Timeout.

    Device Timeout can be configured at Settings -> General -> Application Settings. The default value is 900000 ms (15 mins).
