TG-BT5-IN doesn't send accelerometer events

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

i’m doing some test with TG-BT5-IN and KNOT and i’ve found an issue.
I’ve set a script that runs every 3 seconds for parsing payloads from TG-BT5-IN and if 21st octet is != 0 then send an HTTP request.

The problem is that TG-BT5-IN payloads have 21st octet != 0 only for magnetic switch events. I’ve tried many times to drop it, shake it, etc with no success.
I’ve tried also to set all levels to the max sensitivity with no success.
I’ve 3 unit of TG-BT5-IN and all of them have the same behaviour.

fw version of TG-BT5-IN is 2.3.1-0rr

I can confirm that different triggers should report different events.
From the guide:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/UM/MikroTik+Tag+advertisement+formats#MikroTikTagadvertisementformats-Example
More examples (for 21 octet’s value):

“08” is the impact on just the x-axis;
“18” is the impact on the x and y-axis;
“28” is the impact on the x and z-axis;
“10” is the impact on just the y-axis;
“30” is the impact on y and z-axis;
“20” is the impact on just the z-axis.

If you do not get movement/acceleration/tilt events, please make sure that:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/UM/MikroTik+Beacon+Manager+for+Android+devices#MikroTikBeaconManagerforAndroiddevices-Beaconsettings
free-fall detect, impact detect and tilt detect triggers are enabled in the beacon settings menu.
