I have been having same issue for months now, at first I thought is was a communication issue because I have an older home with metal conduit and boxes. I finally had time to test this and it is the same. I can make a rest request to turn on a scene and it may not turn on, it will report in the Admin console as on (scene and devices) even though it is off, If I resend the "ON" command the scene will NEVER turn on until the Off command is sent and the ON command is resent, however if I send the ON command to the device (not the scene) the device will turn on even if it is shows On in the Admin Console.

My home was built in the 1948 so this may or may not work. My entire house has metal conduit. A new electrical box was installed and the conduit was grounded. Then a screw would work to ground new fixtures..... You will have to check if code in your area allows for this to be done.

Good to know, In my experience they have been getting better about security over the last year and are much harder to update without an account than they were a year ago. Also I am not connecting to the beacons when using them for location so the URL issue is not a problem for the indoor location use. Even with these issues someone would have to be in my yard to even attempt to overwrite information on the beacons...... So I would not use them to broadcast a URL, but I still feel completely safe reading power levels without connecting to the beacon. I'm sure many of us have Internet connected devices that are much more vulnerable to to attack.

Hi glacket, I have been working on the same thing for about a year on Android with Estimote BLE beacons (ibeacons) and producing unfavorably results with tasker. Then a couple of weeks ago google announced Eddystone. João Dias (creator of AutoApps tasker plugins) is now working on adding eddystone beacons to a new tasker plugin. The Estimote Android App has detection of beacons and looks promising. Their website says "Indoor Location requires 2 dev kits" so it is my assumption Estimote has indoor location working. The following is a link to joao's community discussing Eddystone.
