Overview
TG-BT5-IN is a new addition to our MikroTik equipment. It is a Bluetooth tag (a very small gadget) that can be attached to other equipment or other
belonging. Bluetooth tags play a big role in IoT topologies, where Bluetooth is used to broadcast the data over short distances. Once installed and
configured, the tag will broadcast advertising packets in (default packet format) to the gateway (for example, iBeacon, Eddystone, or Mikrotik telemetry KN
). Gateway, on the other hand, pushes the advertising packet payload to the remote server utilizing or HTTP protocols.OT MQTT
Tag modes
When the product arrives from manufacturing it is set into factory sleep mode. In this mode, all components are shut-down as much as possible and MCU
is put into the deepest sleep state. The current draw is reduced to a minimum, so this is the preferred mode to use when the tag is stored and/or not in use.
To exit this mode put a magnet to the tag's edge (where the "Magnetic switch" is) and hold it for 3-10 seconds until LED turns off. After that, the tags exits
sleep mode and enters advertising mode.
In the Advertising mode, the tag will broadcast Bluetooth advertising packets. By default, MikroTik's advertisement packets are sent once every 5 seconds.
This can be changed in the Configuration mode.
Configuration mode can be entered only from advertising mode by applying a magnet to the magnetic switch as in the exiting factory sleep procedure.
After applying a magnet for 5-10 seconds LED will turn off and the tag enters configuration mode. If you apply a magnet for longer than 15 seconds or
won't connect to the tag with the configuration app, it will go back into advertising mode.
When the device wakes from the factory sleep for the first time, it has this default configuration:
Configuration parameter Setting/value
Advertising packet format MikroTik
Advertising interval 5.0 seconds
Angle Threshold/Tilt trigger 60°
Freefall Threshold/Accelerometer trigger 156.25 mg
Wakeup Threshold/Wakeup trigger 1.0 mg
Bandwith Filter 0.8 Hz
Low noise filter disabled
Tx Power 0 dBm
The magnet is used on the reed switch to change the tag's operating modes as described above. As soon as the magnet is detected (the reed switch is
activated), the LED will start flashing for the next 5 seconds (first 5 seconds) and, then, stop. It can help you identify that 5 seconds have passed and that
you can remove the magnet to enter configuration mode.
