An explanation of how the Monitor connects to nearby mobile devices using AoFrio software and Bluetooth connectivity.
The AoFrio Monitor uses a Bluetooth transceiver and is compatible with all AoFrio IoT software apps and hardware. It can also work as advertising beacon through iBeacon or Eddystone proximity marketing to deliver content to consumers.
Once the Monitor is activated, it begins collecting sensor data and emits a Bluetooth signal that makes the device recognizable by the AoFrio ecosystem of apps. This enables the generation of data, insights, location tracking, and proximity marketing.
Data is collected and recorded every 30 seconds by default. The interval can be adjusted by users with the appropriate permissions as explored in the parameters section of the Monitor manual.
The data is stored in the device for approximately two months (in normal conditions, data varies according to commercial activity and rate of use) until an authorized mobile device comes nearby and establishes Bluetooth connectivity. If a Monitor is equipped in tandem with a Network Pro, then the data is transferred in real-time in accordance with the connectivity settings in the Network Pro.
When a connection is established, the data is transferred from the Monitor to the mobile device and sent to the AoFrio Cloud, where it is processed for display using all available tools in the AoFrio IoT ecosystem.
