View source for Talk:Presence detection (Bluetooth 4.0 Low energy Beacon)

Hi,

thanks for this article, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I ordered two of these NUT beacons + BLE USB Stick. They are working fine with the app on Iphone etc.
But there is one thing I miss in your article. As far as I know, you have to have a permanent connection to these beacons in order to correctly detect them, am I right?
I mean, the script is working well and the beacons are detected when I make them visible (long press on the button of the beacon) But I don´t want to push the button everytime I´m coming home etc.
I think this is not in your mind as well.
So I already tried to connect them with raspberry and it worked with bluetoothctl. But when I leave the cli of bluetoothctl, the connection is lost.
So how this should be managed?

I really hope that somebody can help me a little bit, because this is really a great thing when its working correctly! :)

Thanks
Nils
