Thanks to CNR of Pisa for part of the hardware.

Overview

A simple indoor localization system based on wearable BLE tags, easily customizable through the dedicated Telegram Bot.

This system is tested with this hardware:

Wereable BLE tag: RadBeacon dot
Stations: Raspberry PI (with a bluetooth dongle if bluetooth isn't integrated already);
Server: one of our laptops.

Both stations and server run python scripts: required a python 2 interpreter.

Stations: scan for bluetooth messages: library BluePy.

Server: the server runs a MQTT broker, it connects to a MongoDB database and provides a machine-to-machine REST interface implemented with Flask.

Server(bot): a telegram bot developed with python-telegram-bot.
