iBeacon Location Services

The MobileHMI app can now detect iBeacons and automatically execute an action, such as loading a specific display.

To configure the action for a beacon:

1. Open Workbench.

2. Expand MobileHMI > Configuration.

3. Right-click on Augmented Reality and add a new location.

4. Give the location a name.

5. Set the Type to iBeacon.

6. Set Value to the beacon's GUID. It should be in the format of UUID:Major:Minor.

7. Configure your action in the Actions section.

8. Apply the changes.

When the MobileHMI app is running and the user approaches a beacon, an overlay will appear that allows the user to trigger the command.

This feature is similar to the functionality to launch commands based on GPS location.
