Eddystone wrong results

See original GitHub issue

Does this Library has been tested with Eddystone beacons ?

I am getting wrong location when i choose Eddystone protocol to my Kontakt beacon.

For Kontakt there is different values of RSSI :

Tx Power            RSSI for ibeacon @ 1m             RSSI for Eddystone @ 0m

0 (-30dBm)                -115                           -74
1 (-20dBm)                -84                            -43
2 (-16dBm)                -81                            -40
3 (-12dBm)                -77                            -36
4 (-8dBm)                 -72                            -31
5 (-4dBm)                 -69                            -28
6 (0dBm)                  -65                            -24
7 (4dBm)                  -59                            -18

Why all the locations are so far when using Eddystone and when i use iBeacon everything works fine ?

I see your point. I just think that the issue we need to fix is the distance estimation, not the multilateration (and the RMS thresholds). Adjusting the thresholds is a “temporary” workaround.

I am totally agree on this, but please read the comment on the other issue #127
