Bluenet is code running on Crownstone compatible devices such as electronic connectors, electronic EU plugs and grid-powered beacons, Guidestones. Each Crownstone or Guidestone is a node in a network that uses signal strength for indoor localization of smartphones and wearables.
- Made for indoor localization.
- Includes a mesh network.
- Power measuring.
- iBeacon compliant.
- Configurable over the air.
To use a device with bluenet code on it, you only need to know the Bluetooth protocol that bluenet uses. You can find the protocol definitions in the protocol document.
To build the bluenet code yourself, follow the installation instructions.
You can best communicate bugs and feature requests via the issue tracker. For all other questions, please, feel free to ask us anything on our website.
