  • Update:

    I attached to tag to my cat last night - it’s a moto tag 2 with uwb.

    Once he left my home, he was off the radar for half hour until find hub located it in the backyard of nearby houses, so that answered my question. The location updates were very infrequent, like every 10m. I was expecting better accuracy and frequency given how many houses surround those backyards.

    I went looking for him, and i could connect to the tag, but the cat found me before i could figure out his location using UWB.





  • I know the network accuracy was reduced to avoid stalking. So like if the tag is only reported by 1 device, you will not see it’s location. It may also be the reason the reporting is delayed.

    The smartphones on the network do it it the background so it does make sense that they’re conserving energy and scan/report infrequently.







  • If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Some argue it does not, since sound is. An interpretation of pressure waves in a particular frequency range.

    I personally believe it’s still sound. Even if it’s not heard, it can be recorded and replayed, therefore any time there are pressure waves within specific range they should be considered sound. If you play music on the radio and nobody is listening, it makes a sound, but if you transmit it only using AM/FM it does not make a sound.

    Having this definition down, yes, it must have been one Hell of a bang, but so what?
