Both the iGS01s and the Wireless iBeacon Receiver support MQTT. Brian Boucheron has written a recent article on How to Install and Secure the Mosquitto MQTT Messaging Broker on Ubuntu 16.04. It shows you how to install Mosquitto, retrieve SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt and set the broker to use SSL to provide secure password protected MQTT communications.

New INGICS Bluetooth Sensor Beacons
We have some new INGICS Sensor beacons in stock.
These are slightly different to our other beacons in that they don’t transmit iBeacon or Eddystone. Instead the Bluetooth advertising is wholly used for sensor and battery information. Hence, they are more suitable for sensing, security and IoT applications rather than retail-marketing type scenarios.
There are 4 models:
iBS01G – movement/fall sensor
iBS01H – magnetic (hall) sensor
iBS01RG – (raw) accelerometer sensor
iBS01T – temperature and humidity sensor
They derive power from 2xCR2032 or via a micro USB smartphone charger (not supplied). They all also have a detectable button press. While the manufacturer’s app shows the sensor data, you will probably need a custom app or gateway to scan and use the advertising data.
