iBeacon use slows to ‘a trickle’ … well knock me down with a feather.
@JohnPhilpin I actually always thought iBeacons could have been an interesting option for use in home automation and HomeKit stuff, but they didn't seem to be widely available for consumers or easy to inegrate into such things.
@DrOct well yes ... but I think they were mainly being touted as a way for stores to track your movements so they could present you great deals during your ‘retail experience’ ... so many things wrong with that ... I think there is an iBeacon wizard floating around micro.blog somewhere ... maybe she could share more light?
@JohnPhilpin Oh, I know what they were marketed for. Just saying it always seemed like there were some other potential uses for them that they never seemed to really support. I wonder about how much more successful they might have been generally if their use was opened up a bit more and made a bit simpler.
