We can script and automate the KNOT so that as soon as the tag appears within the KNOTs KNOT's Bluetooth range, RouterOS would structure a message (which would have the tag's MAC address in it), and would send it to the server. The server will have entries indicating that KNOT

As a result, if you have 2 KNOTs (KNOT A and KNOT B), running the same script on a scheduler, and the tag moves between their Bluetooth operating ranges, you will have the data on the server indicating whether it was KNOT A or KNOT B that have sent the tag's payload and that way you can figure out an approximate position of the tag.

Let's say, you have a warehouse. What you can do, is you You can scatter the KNOTs across the warehouse so that the KNOT's Bluetooth range does not overlap with the neighboring KNOTs. You need to test the Bluetooth range in your environment/topology to figure out how far the Bluetooth range goes, as it can be much lower than expected if you have a lot of 2.4 GHz interference or materials that can impact the signal strength, like concrete. For example, in line of sight, with no interference, the distance at which the KNOT is able to capture the tag's broadcasted payload, can be up to 180 meters (KNOT — ~180 meters — TG-BT5-OUT). But you also have to keep in mind that with more distance, more packets will be lost on the way.
