PROEMION BTSMP1 Teltonics BLE ID EVE Beacon

Introduction

The Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices are two different types of Bluetooth Low Energy ID devices. Both types are used to measure different signals.

Via other Bluetooth capable devices, signals of the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices can be forwarded to the DataPlatform and, thus, the location of a machine can be tracked, too.

The Teltonika Eye Beacon transmits the eddystone/beacon IDs only, whereas the Teltonika Eye Sensor transmits additional signals, see About the Devices.

Use Cases

Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices are used commonly for customers who want to introduce telematics to their machines and/or equip/retrofit lower-end products with basic telematics.

Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices are not connected to a CAN network and, therefore, cannot support RealTime.

They have their own hosting plans.

The following manual describes the signal set, how to set up the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices/machines in the DataPortal and how the tracking works with these devices.

For more information, contact your Sales representative at Proemion.

Service and Support

The latest versions of the drivers, software, firmware, and documentation are available in our Document Library.

About the Devices

Both Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices have a waterproof casing and are equipped with batteries that last up to 5 years.

Bluetooth Eye Beacon
Provides the basic functionality for Tracking.
Is equipped with the Beacon ID.
Bluetooth Eye Sensor
Provides the Beacon ID, b functionality for Tracking and additionally transmits the following metrics:
- Sensor Battery State
- Sensor Battery Voltage
- Device Pitch
- Device Roll
- Humidity
- Magnet Field Detection/State
- Movement Counts
- Movement Detection
- Temperature

Signal Set

The following signals and features are enabled by the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor (x = enabled, – = not enabled).

Operation

Both Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices are active and send data only, when a machine is connected and ignition is turned on.

When the machine is on, the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor always send there signal and cannot be turned off.

Their signals are captured every 60 seconds and sent each 1 hour if a machine is working.

Otherwise, the device will enter sleep mode and wake up every 6 hours or by ignition or if the machine is being towed or rocked by an earthquake.

Consider that the devices have no dedicated power supply and, therefore, do not maintain a constant connection and are listed as “Offline”.

For the data from a beacon to reach the cloud, a higher level device has to receive the announcement, enrich it at least with the signal strength and send it to the cloud, see Tracking.

Safety Information

This chapter contains important information on how to avoid life-threatening situations and injuries and how to prevent product damage.

Safety Instructions

Adhere to the manufacturer’s safety instructions: Teltonika Beacon Safety Information and Teltonika Sensor Safety Information.

Warranty and Liability

Proemion assumes no liability for defects caused by normal wear, external influences and incorrect installation, operation or maintenance. This also applies if the customer or a third party modifies the devices, any accessories, or the software without permission from Proemion.

Conformity

For further details regarding the conformity please refer to Teltonika Beacon Conformity and Teltonika Sensor Conformity (note that the Teltonika Eye Sensor has additional certifications/approvals than the Teltonika Eye Beacon.

Set up Machine in DataPortal

You can set up the machine with the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor installed to make it available in the DataPortal.

You must first create a model and then provision the machines in order to view the Machine Data.

Create Model

Create a model and bound it to machine.

How to create a model is described in the Create Model chapter of the DataPortal manual.

The model creation is required for the management of your machines.

To create a model via the REST API, read Create Model

Provision/Go Live

To make the machines with the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor installed available in the DataPortal, you must
provision them.

Provisioning requires the MAC and serial number.

How to provision the machine is described in the Provisioning chapter of the DataPortal manual.

To provision the machine via the REST API, read Provision a machine.

Machine Data

After provisioning, the devices are then visible in the following DataPortal menus.

List and Map View

In Machines > List and Map view, you can view the signals as well as the CU details and activity.

Signals
- E.g. Signal strength, i.e. via the metric value.common.cu.beacon.signal.strength
CU Details: Name, Serial Number, Product code, iBeaconId, eddystoneId
- Activity: Session History, Usage (Contract, Allowed to connect)
  As the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor devices don’t have a constant connection to the DataPlatform, they show cu.LastSeen instead of the “Online/Offline” state or “Logged in/Logged out” or “RealTime”.
  Figure 2. DataPortal Machine Map
  
  Figure 3. CU Details

Contracts

In Settings > Administration > Contracts, you manage the contracts, i.e. renew contracts for the devices, change the OEM name, etc.

To renew the machine via the REST API, read Contract Renewal.

Figure 4. DataPortal Contracts

Tracking

Beacons do not have a GPS sensor.

They only announce there presence locally via BLE by constantly sending Bluetooth packets and optionally a small set of data with it.

Whenever a Basic Tracker captures these Bluetooth packets, it sends the data recorded from the devices to the DataPlatform.

The location visible in the DataPortal is then the location of the Basic Tracker from which the signal was sent from.

Therefore, you always need a Basic Tracker to capture the data of the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor. As soon as the Basic Tracker sends the data to the DataPlatform, it will additionally also send the recorded data of the Teltonika Eye Beacon/Sensor in a time interval of 60 seconds, see also Operation.
