Thanks for the great news @Sakul ! My systems are built with V2 and will try V3 on next system. ... View more

Hi @Sakul, I got a response back from Meraki sales person that Meraki is not going to fix this as they believe current implementation is right and benefit everyone. So for now we have to give it up for a quick fix but we need to keep on pushing because nothing is going to happen if we don't do nothing. ... View more

Hi @colinster, I'm trying to map out people and equipment based on Scanning API. For people I use non-Apple wearable devices and for equipment BLE tags. It's not that complex but I don't have any control for BD addresses. ... View more

Hi @colinster, thanks for your reply. I've already done "Make a wish" and escalated to Meraki sales person. Web page you mentioned are very informative, looks like Meraki engineers are living in a perfect world not a real world. It's funny Dashboard API(Wireless -> Bluetooth Client) detect LAA BD addresses though Scanning API don't. ... View more

Hi all, I reopened a case and got an answer from Meraki support it's spec not a bug. They are saying BD address with 7th bit of 1st hex is 1 is Locally adminisrered addess(LAA) which user can alter from original BD address, Universally Administered Addresses (UAA). I explained it's not the case with Bluetooth devices, end user cannot change BD address and as a result half of devices are non-visible with Scanning API, which end up users throwing away Meraki from window. But they still insist they won't fix it since it's a feature request and all I can do is to "Make a wish" from web GUI and escalate to Meraki sales person. Any good ideas to push them to fix this? ... View more

Hi Sakul, great to hear your devices are on the same rule. I was thinking there must be something in common for devices that are not visible from Scanning API because I saw visible/invisible changes as I did factory reset which comes with BD address change. So I compared what's in common at BD address then found it. I opened a case about this a couple month ago and will follow up, but they said I need to call them having visible and invisible devices. Now my office is locked down because of Corona virus and it's hard to do it, but will do something. ... View more

Hi, I found out the reason why we are seeing this. As a conclusion it's a bug of Meraki. If the 7th bit from top of 1st hex of BD address is 0, it's visible from Scanning API but if it's 1, it's not visible. For example, I got a MEDiTAG that BD address is DF:81:64:80:6B:A4. 1st hex is DF = bin 110111"1"1, which 7th bit from top is 1, and it's not visible from Scanning API. I got another one with BD address F4:89:62:0A:6C:B3, 1st hex is F4 = bin 111101"0"0, which 7th bit from top is 0 and it's visible. Could you check if this is applicable with your devices? You can check with =MID(HEX2BIN(MID(<BD address cell>,1,2),8),7,1) in Excel. ... View more

We see firmware update a couple of time since we found this problem and they didn't take any effect. MR33s are in production and we can't update it soon. I think you are talking about Connectivity on the screen and they are all green, which is weird because it it's green the device should be found by Scanning API. ... View more

*Are all devices (mi band 3) within the same place ? Yes they are in the same place. *How many AccessPoints is there in this location ? Which models ? I got 2 neworks, one got 4 APs and the other got 25APs. They are all MR33. It doesn't matter which network I place Mi Band 3, if it's invisible at one network, it's the same at the other. *Which firmware is installed on your AccessPoints ? It's MR 25.13. *Which version of the scanning API are you using ? It's 2.0. Are you seeing the same problem in your network? If so, which device are you using? ... View more

It's Xiaomi Mi Band 3. They all are visible with Dashboard API but not with Scanning API. I tried to access them with other tool like BLE scanner on iPhone and gatttool on Raspberry Pi but I don't see any difference between the ones visible with Scanning API and the invisible ones. Looks like we have the same problem with Tile but haven't dug into it. ... View more

Yes they are all on the same single network. I tried to find any common thing like BD address bytes but there is nothing. ... View more

 I'm developing an application using Scanning API and noticed it doesn't pick up some devices though they are all same hardware. I got the same 30 devices and 17 don't show up in Scanning API. Do you experience similar problems?  The device firmware and configuration is all the same. I bought them with one shot and there would not be hardware revision difference.  I found this on community but it looks like it's different problem https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/Iphones-and-Androids-Bluetooth-not-showing-on-BLE-scanning/m-p/40347/highlight/true#M6313. ...
