# Ruuvi Tag
This extension adds support for Ruuvi Tag (opens new window) Sensor Beacons.
# Supported Things
Only a single thing type is added by this extension:
| Thing Type ID | Description |
|---|---|
| ruuvitag_beacon | A Ruuvi Tag Sensor Beacon |
Under normal conditions the ruuvitag should submit data every 10 seconds. However, if no data has been retrieved after 1 minute the ruuvitag is set to OFFLINE and the state of channels is set to UNDEF. When new data is retrieved when OFFLINE the ruuvtag is set ONLINE again.
# Discovery
As any other Bluetooth device, Ruuvi Tag Beacons are discovered automatically by the corresponding bridge.
# Thing Configuration
There is only a single configuration parameter address, which corresponds to the Bluetooth address of the device (in format "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX").
# Channels
A Ruuvi Tag Smart Beacon has the following channels:
| Channel ID | Item Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| temperature | Number:Temperature | The measured temperature |
| humidity | Number:Dimensionless | The measured humidity |
| pressure | Number:Pressure | The measured air pressure |
| batteryVoltage | Number:ElectricPotential | The measured battery voltage |
| accelerationx | Number:Acceleration | The measured acceleration of X |
| accelerationy | Number:Acceleration | The measured acceleration of Y |
| accelerationz | Number:Acceleration | The measured acceleration of Z |
| txPower | Number:Power | TX power |
| dataFormat | Number | Data format version |
| measurementSequenceNumber | Number:Dimensionless | Measurement sequence number |
| movementCounter | Number:Dimensionless | Movement counter |
Note: not all channels are always available. Available fields depends on Ruuvi Data Format (opens new window).
