Read UID and RSSI without manual connection

[wklimann]

Hello,

I need to read the UID and later on also the RSSI value of devices (Handys) in range. It should be reading the values automatically without the need of manual connecting. If some known device is recognized I want to trigger a task.

I think that I should use a BLE-Peripheral and not a BLE-Central am I right?

It would be great if someone could recommend a good starting-point example or necessary API calls.

Thanks in Advance

Hello Hung Bui!!

Our application should be a nrf51822 device which allows to read the MAC address and the RSSI value of phones (or tablet) in range. If a phone with a previously stored MAC address is recognized (without any manual handling on the phone) we want to trigger a task on the nrf51822 like -> turn on a pin when in range (for example RSSI > -70dBm) and off when out of range (for example RSSI <= -70dBm).

If I understand the beacon application correctly it works the other way around - the phone reads the advertising (MAC, RSSI ...) of the nrf51 beacon but the beacon does not get information about the phone. Am I right ?

Thank you for your help!
