Cisco Meraki Indoor Localization

I'm going to realize a indoor positioning application using Cisco Meraki technology.

I've inserted the floor plan in the Meraki dashboard and activated the web server to manage the receive of the HTTP POST scanning API.

In the HTTP POST I obtained the latitude, longitude, x and y arrays and all of them have the same value for all connected devices despite devices are not in the exactly same position.

So my question is: is it possible to obtain the device's location with one only Access Point (only one Meraki MR33) or I need more APs?

You can try using scanning api v2.

Best is to have at least 3 AP's and use v3

With the current location logic you need 3 APs at minimum, ideally placed roughly as the points of a triangle with the clients in the middle.
