Basic function

Locating
After the tag is turned on, it automatically enters the normal mode of locating. In the normal mode, the tag sends a locating signal to the BlueIOT anchor at a certain refresh interval. The refresh interval defaults to 200 milliseconds. This value can be set on the service configuration software.
When the tag stays static for a long time, it will automatically switch to sleep mode. In sleep mode, the tag enters a low power consumption status. The refresh interval for the tag to send locating signals to the anchor will be extended to 10 seconds. When the tag moves or vibrates, it immediately switches back to the normal mode from sleep mode. The static time from normal mode to sleep mode is 15 seconds by default, and this value can be set on the server configuration software.
