  Hi Gordon,
  thanks for your comment. A code example would be great if you can find time for that. :)
  What can you recommend for getaway hardware? These look good
  https://pycom.io/product/pygo1/
  https://pycom.io/product/pygo2/
  but are not available until at least November or something (not sure product links are allowed here, please remove if not)

  And the last question where do I buy puck.js ? I'm in Germany and the only german shop listed here http://www.espruino.com/Order#puckjs does not have it anymore.

  Hi, thanks, I see. Right now I don't care about "high-tech" attacks :)

  Hi, thanks for your comment, unfortunately, there is no defined route and I can't put it outside.
  I was hoping to play with signal strength. The main question is can pucks "listen" to advertisements and advertise: own ID, BLE tag ID, signal strength of BLE tag.

  Or maybe there is another better way. I'm new here so any help welcome

  Hi, thanks for your comment. Sure, if I cover it with something it will disappear. To work around something blocking the signal I was hoping that 2-3 pucks should pick it up unless I put an iron pot on it or something. To check if it is inside our outside the room I was thinking to analyze signal strength collected from all of the pucks with the hope that I can determine its outside... What do u mean by "Clone BLE tag" ?

  I'm looking for hardware for a little project and trying to find out if puck.js is a right fit. What I want to do s track if something(generic BLE tag) is not leaving the room. I was thinking about placing 2-3 puck.js in the room. A generic BLE tag would just need to advertise with set interval his ID. Every puck.js will need to listen to ID and forward/advertise its own id, the id of generic BLE tag and the signal strength of generic BLE tag. Now I will need some gateway that will get this info and based on it analyze if generic BLE tag is in the room or not.
  Do you think puck.js can do this?

  Thanks
