iBeacon/locative/IoP

[SHM]

Anyone know appropriate syntax for GET command in Locative to populate ISY node with iBeacon results?  I have tried Portal Occupancy and occupancy2 instructions but no luck--locative says that the "key is not correct"

I don't think it's available any further. Seems like Portal Occupancy was also part of Polyglot Cloud that got shut down in Feb 2022.  I know others use Locative on iOS to trigger geofence events, but not sure how it is being done. Perhaps if it had been setup prior to shutting down of PGC something is still working for them.

Thanks.  For what it is worth, I can still use occupancy and occupancy2 with portal and locative and it works well.  I am on the latest IoP with Polisy.  I can add an iBeacon to locative but unlike the Geofence side of portal and locative, there is no URL in portal that I can attach to the GET command in locative.

The portal Node Server doesn't support iBeacon's, only geofences.  

I haven't really seen support for iBeacons.. I thought mobilinc but on a 1 minute tour of the mobilinc.com website didn't see iBeacon's prominently advertised.

turns out that locative can add iBeacons and I have successfully set up a URL in Occupancy that I use in locative
GET command.  Works great.  So now I have a work around for geofencing and proximity rather than using Mobilinc.
