Is the Bluetooth BLE radio turned on in the cnPilot e600? And will cnMaestro monitor this radio? Asking for asset tracking solution opportunity.

This will be turned on in our 4.0 software release in August.
The data about bluetooth devices and tags we scan will be made available over an API (like we do for wifi presence tracking today) to a 3rd party server. cnMaestro will configure the external server, but will not be collecting and reporting the client data for now.

Hi.
Is bluetooth enabled? I am searching, but can't find any info.
Kind regards
cnPilot 4.0 image which will be released in next couple of weeks will support BLE. The beta image is available from cambium site to download and try it out https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/e410/beta. Here is more information on the BLE support,
To enable the BLE scanning radio on the access points. We need to use below CLI.
- location-bt-api server <server address:port> (eg http://192.168.0.9:8000)
- location-bt-api interval <Time in sec> (range 2-3600 second)
After enable BLE Scanning on AP it will start processing
- Convert the scanned data to a JSON array
- Send that data in one single HTTP/HTTPS POST
