HI,

We have several (12 to be exact) MR42 devices. In specs it is stated that those support BLE beaconing and BLE scanning.

Scanning and Beaconing enabled via meraki cloud dashboard (IoT Radio Settings) , but no sensors with BLE enabled (non cisco made sensors) detected. Overall no Bluetooth devices detected at all on premises. What can be the issue?

Take a look at this:

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

I tested it and it worked as expected.

I've got an MR42 successfully doing Bluetooth scanning. There's not really much to it after enabling it in the IOT Radio settings.

Are you supplying 802.3at power (rather than 802.3af) to the MR42?

I don't remember clearly now, but some models disable some functions when they only get 802.3af power.
