I'm going to realize an indoor positioning application using Cisco Meraki. I have only one access point (MR33) for now. It follows a couple of questions to which I can not find an answer at the moment. I have only one AP, so it is not able to calculate the information of the position x and y. From the Scanning API is there an information from which we can calculate the distance from the AP? Using RSSI? I wondered if it was possible to use the "rssi" data sent to calculate a very approximate distance in the following way: d = 10 ^ ((P-Rssi) / 10n) (n ranges from 2 to 4). (This is commonly seen as rssi change the distance formula) But I understood that the information given in 'rssi' value is actually the Signal To Noise, and therefore not the RSSI used in that formula. Any tips? Using UNC? In my case 'unc' value is very variable even with only one AP, going from 0 to 49. Could I use this in any way? Is there a way to access this Meraki information more frequently? Since Scanning APIs POSTs arrive at intervals of 60 secs. The only alternatives are to create a device that sniffs these probe requests or use an app installed on mobile devices?
