Also, teams in large corporations do not always mean the Wi-Fi people have access to switches and vice-versa. This is a big limitation.

This really must be implemented. I do not find powering ports on and off to be effective because- 1) when they lose power, they often don't come back nicely. Red lights on the secondary indication lights. 2) when they lose power, on the switch, they sometimes go into rainbow land and have to be booted from the router to come back. Thus, it's really not a good idea. Because taking power off and on at the switch in our experience introduces more problems. Please please do a mulit-boot.

Hi, I have Piper BLE beacons in hand. It appears we cannot at this time see them from a heatmap without 3rd party vendor software. From my understanding, we should be able to see it in the list of Bluetooth beacons. I don't see the beacon in the list. On the button, it shows a: "Major" 4 digit number "Minor" 4 digit number -Not a MAC I see nothing in the manufacturing list that shows, "Piper." Has anyone done this by just using the common Meraki platform to tray tracking with a beacon thus an asset? The map would be nice, but the list would work okay. Thanks, Jamie

This is excellent! I need to digest this a bit- but this is what's needed. I needed a bit of flexibility as I can get a report on a tag/building- but I really need one report summary (one page) for execs. I really appreciate your input!

Thank you, this is perfect. I am also hoping that I can get this report, with all other tags in one daily emailed summary report. I made a "wish" for that feature.Thanks for replying, I appreciate it!

The business ask is that we get a daily report on the number of Wi-Fi connections in our buildings that we have labeled with the building tag. I cannot find a way to get this report from the Meraki reporting engine. I understand there are DNA spaces, but we are not looking for anything really by means of analytics. Maybe someday, but more a capacity report for planning and use. And yes- they want at least the Wi-Fi vision of numbers for COVID. We aren't looking to do wayfinding or anything I would consider 2nd tier analysis. Anyone have any idea of how to get this info. Reports from Meraki would be great- or if anyone has done this with the APIs... Thanks in advance. Comments and thoughts most welcome- including... did ya read this part of the manual? 😄

Hi QLSteve, Thanks for leaving a note. I was looking into how to automate uploading maps. I've since learned a bit that it you do it traditionally/GUI you have to provide coordinates, and if you upload you have to provide coordinates-- so either way there's a lot of work (I'm looking at about 200 floors). And, you still have to provide the building map/overlay. So not finding a big advantage with the API there. Which- is okay. I am now going to look into reporting as we have some decently good reporting with our current pair of classic Cisco/Airwave reporting. I need to see what I can do with our new Meraki. I imagine there may be API opportunities there.

Edgar-VO, thanks for the reply. I've been working with the account reps. And we're thinking that because we have to place the image of the building over the map and work coordinates, all of which will be different- it may not buy us a whole lot to use the API over the GUI. I like your comment about Postman... I can see how this could be powerful. Since I don't think I am going to gain much with the maps, I am going to take a look at reporting. Currently we at large are still classic Cisco with Airwave to run reports that our CIO likes. I am going to take a gander at the reporting subject. Again, thanks for the note- any other feedback you have is appreciated! -Jamie

I am at home too. So very glad. I don't see a way to private message here, so here's the email of my Cisco Meraki rep: Clint Russell (clirusse) <clirusse@cisco.com> I have to say that the account team has been good in guiding me, but I feel like lot's of what we want to do hasn't really been mapped out yet. That's okay-- but there aren't any specific guides! Lol. Give him a shout, he would rather meet with people live in the Englewood office- but maybe we can get something going in the meantime. So nice to meet you. Hope to see you on the webex side.

Well hello neighbor. Thanks for saying, "Hi." I work at that Aurora campus at Colfax & 225. I'm excited to see your excitement for Meraki. I was so important to us to choose a dynamic platform and it came down to Meraki and MIST- and here we are. I'm working on our sales rep to bring a local quarterly group together to discuss all things Meraki/API/development. Would that be something you would be interested in? I'm personally okay with Webex or live. I'm at a chicken or the egg... what solutions do we need/what's possible. I'll keep digging here. I was looking into the APIs and maps but it looks like it may be faster just to use the GUI with the current input for longitude and latitude needs - as well as the overlay. I'm happy to say for the 148 floors at the Colfax & 225 location, that will be our VARs job... 🙂 So my next rabbit trail will be reporting. We currently use Airwave with classic Cisco to come up with some nifty reports. Maybe that will really kick my API journey into gear. Thanks- you stay safe too! -Jamie

I do network Engineering for a few Colorado campuses. Just getting my legs with Meraki. I look forward to building cool things. I need to get a handle on the Meraki APIs. Need to build cool solutions. I sing sometimes.

Totally new to trying to get this to work. I understand that if I want to make this recursive, I will need to work some Python magic. I am very interested in doing this as I have over 500 floors to upload (campus setting). Goal- Upload floor plans to Meraki in bulk. Don't want to upload them one at a time. They are on my hard drive, how do I load them up to Meraki Cloud with API to automate the process? I have familiarized myself with Postman and have done simple tasks. Mini Goal- upload one floor plan with API. Trying to work with the API: POST {{baseUrl}}/networks/:networkId/floorPlans Here's my interpretation of what I need to do: baseUrl = where am I going to post my floor plan to. My meraki customer location. networks = part of the path in the cloud network ID = one my campus IDs (we have 3) floorPlans = location of where they are being posted floorPlanId= looks like I need to create this? Hoping this would be assigned with API. I'm assuming I need to do something like the name of the floor plan "Education Building Smith Floor 1" with a next upload of "Education Building Smith Floor 2." Questions based on my assumptions above: 1- If that's a post to Meraki, how do I call the material I want posted. Maybe a header or something? But I don't see that in the path provided. Is that something I add? 2- If I post this on a website with permissions- I don't see how to account for that right now either. Since Postman is local to my machine, I could pull from my computer to post but- a- Best to run a web server on my machine to work this out with Postman? b- What is the best practice here? c- Post them on a trusted Google drive to use that path to upload? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm hoping to get schooled here and be smarter for it. Best, Jamie
