Constrains

Challenges

Signal strength wording with percentage VS distance.
  • Due to how bluetooth works, the signal is constantly updating, making the percentage more reliable in feedback for the user than the rest of the measurements.
  • E.g Case you would be close to the keys, with them in a drawer, the mobile app cannot translate a weak signal into “1m”, “30cm”,”Close” or “Very close” due to the breakage on the signal strength.
