sorry, did not take the time to report It yet.
for now, still rebooting homey every night
Please do, they are saying little amount of users using BLE.
I just starting a Homey Pro. Same problem.
So not a lot of people (or developers) use BLE because the implementation is lacking, and now theyâre using that as an excuse not to improve the implementation. Nice bit of circular reasoning thereâŚ
Thats a damn shame, for me It is the only good presence detection at the moment.
I reported it as a bug now, hopefully they do some thing about It
I got a reply from Athom. According to them, this bug is a bug in the app (Beacon), and not in homey.
So, what can we do next?
Thats a known response from.support. They donât know, its the app. I can only think of a scenatio that the beacons only switch from inside to outside and the other way. Is could be that the state of the beacon is not the same as the app thinks it is. Iâve never seen that behaviour. Do you have some flows that notice you when a beacon is inside/outside range? What flows do you use?
Always works 100% for me and my family
Simple flows like: When Beacon X is out of range, and nobody is at home, then change surveillance mode to ARMED.
If I reboot homey every night, It works perfect (most of the times).
Problems started since some firmware version agoâŚ
I think to remember the first version 2. x homey firmware also had trouble with something like this. (cache?)
Thanks.
I donât have any flows at the moment. I just check the device overview to see if it properly tracked that I left.
And if I donât reboot daily. Itâs frozen. For all my beacons. Moving in or out isnât doing anything
I had the same issue on my previous Homey
This is strange. When I scan for new beacon devices within beacon app in Homey I get all my sonos speaker listed also my LG TV but not my Tile pro 2020 keytags. I have uninstalled the tile app which I downloaded from app store and disabled bluetooth on my phone so that these Tile Pro that I have dont connect to my phone anymore.
It wont show up even if I restart the homey hub or reinstall the beacon app or remove the battery and reinsert it in tile pro.
Any ideas?
That is weird. Battery replace I would try.
Are They properly working with the tile App?
Yes they work properly with tile app. I bought them yesterday.
Hello all, i just got my tile pro too, hoping to get a good presence running. But unfortunately running into trouble as well.
I can connect tiles to Homey and initially i get presence. Once i get out of range (kitchen foil ) Homey reports out of range. However when back in range Homey doesnât get it back.
Reinstalled app, rebooted Homey, removed battery and reconnected, and all in different order. Doesnât help. I read some people having same issue above but not really a solution. Is it me, and can i do something i didnât try?
Try removing the Tiles from your phone Tile app. When using them as beacons for Homey, they can only be used as such and no longer as normal Tiles
You can only hide them in Tile app which I already did but removing them completely is not possible once itâs been activated. Are these tiles now useless?
I would suggest these:

Then you can use your Tiles as regular ones
If you hide the tiles you want to use for presence detection in the tile app, they work with homey.
You can unhide them in the tile app again if you want to use the tile app functionality in case you really lost your keys etcâŚ
With tiles hidden in the tile app the presence detection with homey/beacon is almost 100% for me.
Well for me when its hide or unhide in the tile app it doesnât appear in the beacon app from Homey. Doesnât matter in what state it is. Its not visible at all.
Donât know whatâs happening then, itâs working for me.
Good luck on solving the mystery.
Thank you. For me hiding tiles worked. Tested couple of times now. Both tiles being picket up when in range now
