BeaconTrap scans for iBeacons in the background and triggers preset actions when the configured preconditions are met.
Actions
Trigger HTTP Requests and Notifications
Enter/Exit Triggers
Trigger actions wehen a beacon becomes close or when leaving a beacons region.
Trigger Preconditions
Additionally to immediately triggering an action when an iBeacon signal is received,
BeaconTrap allows the configuration of the following preconditions:
- RSSI threshold
You can set a minimum RSSI (signal strength) threshold value for triggering actions
- Knock twice
The beacon wakes up the app in the background which listens to knock gestures. Knock twice on your device to trigger the action.
- Arrival/Departure only
Prevents triggering an action when you are leaving a place where you have stayed some time (~10min).
This works great for door buzzers, where you only want to open a door uppon arriving at a place.
Export Configuration
Export your trap configuration to other devices with a shareable link.

Quick-Actions
