After installation of the Owntrack mobile app on your phone, your Personal Console has the details you need to enter into the Owntracks app, so it can start sending your daily positions back to your Private Cyberspace.
The Relay Server URL which is the host needed in the Owntracks app is located at https://app.contacttrace.com.au -> Citizen Timeline -> Status Broadcast -> Position Broadcast.

A publish of "_type": "location" with a "b" trigger is sent when an iOS device enters or leaves a beacon in addition to a "_type": "transition": if somebody leaves and enters his home without having left the radius of detection for significant changes, a subscriber to his main topic would otherwise not get notified of any location change although beacon or circular region enter and leave transitions were generated.
_type=beacon
These messages are published when beacon ranging (iOS only) is enabled. Be advised that beacon ranging publishes a lot of messages and has a strong impact on battery life.

elements
}
desc name of the seen beacon (iOS/String)
uuid UUID of the seen beacon (iOS/String)
major Major number of the seen beacon (iOS/integer/epoch)
minor Minor number of the seen beacon (iOS/integer/epoch)
tst Timestamp at which the beacon was seen (iOS/integer/epoch)
acc Accuracy of the proximity value (iOS/integer/meters)
rssi Received signal strength of the beacon (iOS/integer/decibel)
proxRelative distance to the beacon (iOS/integer)
0 Proximity of the beacon could not be determined
1 Beacon is in the immediate vicinity
2 Beacon is relatively close to the user
3 Beacon is far away
There are 3 values (rssi, acc, prox) from owntracks that can be used estimate distance, we will be using the acc only.
