Summary

Proximity Alert policies can be used as an event trigger for when an anchor Blufi observes a Beacon with an RSSI within a defined threshold range.  The Proximity Alert policy supports various options for clearing.  The typical use case is for the policy to be cleared manually or by a separate trigger mechanism, but can also be configured to auto-clear based on a timeout and rssi threshold parameters.  Which method to use depends on which behavior is being modeled by this policy (details on different use cases below).

Configuration

The following is a screen capture from the Bluzone Portal showing the configuration screen for a Proximity Policy.  Note that in this case, the "Enable AutoClear" check box is checked to show all options for the screen capture.
