feature to exclude certain **scanners** from being involved in any distance calculations, so that (say) a vacuum with a scanner mounted on it won't mess up the calculations, but that's a different thing from what you are looking to solve.

          Oh, sidenote.. there will be a feature to exclude certain **scanners** from being involved in any distance calculations, so that (say) a vacuum with a scanner mounted on it won't mess up the calculations, but that's a different thing from what you are looking to solve.

Is the feature to exclude scanners online?

[agittins]

No, it's not planned to be present until trilateration is implemented in #21

Is there a use-case where this is causing an issue for you? Bear in mind the current beta v0.6.9rc2 includes per-proxy calibration so you can apply an offset that will address a certain proxy being more sensitive than others.

The Problem is that my RPi itself is stronger than all other devices and so I am always in the room were my RPi is.

Cool, that's definitely a thing that the per-proxy calibration should fix. Can you give v0.6.9rc2 a try, and in "Configure", "Calibration 2: Per-scanner RSSI Offsets", adjust the offset on your rpi (probably "hci0") so that it doesn't overwhelm the other measurements?

You need to select a device to calibrate against (eg, your phone) then click "Submit", then it will give you distances measured by each proxy. Put in a negative offset on your rpi and "submit" to update the measurements, repeat until you find an offset that works nicely, tick the "Save and close" box and submit.

I have the exact s ame problem. I am using a beelink mini PC for my HA imstande, its bluetooth strength is that high, that i am always switching between the correct room i am currently in and the room where the mini PC is located in.

@MarkusBe have you tried the solution?

[MarkusBe]

Yes, I just tried it out. Since I am quite new to Homeassistant I first had to figure out how to install a not officially published version of an integration... But I found out, installed it, and tried out. And: it works! Great job... Had to figure out first in which direction I have to adjust the RSSI offset, but now it is working much better than before. I still need some more ESP32 scanners, to make it work in the way I want it too. Thank you very much for this great integration, I love it!

[agittins]

Awesome!

Sorry you had to jump through hoops a bit to get the beta version installed, but glad you stuck with it and worked it out!
