Abstract: Software, and hardware work together to make up the Internet of Things (IoT). The study finds a safe way for the IoT to enter your home. We can see different ways to move around inside with the help of a radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) and bluetooth low energy (BLE). This is done since global positioning system (GPS) does not work well inside. The study aims to determine how well iBeacon apps can help people find things inside. It checks whether the weighted centroid localisation (WCL) and positive weighted centroid localisation (PWCL) ways are better or worse. When mapping filters are used, there are also more situations to look for them. There are four different ways to find the 47 test spots. When there are different ways to do something, things are set up even less often. Because it's only off by 1.44 m, the HYBRID-MAPPED way is almost always the best.

Keywords: theoretical foundations; methods for placing iBeacons; fingerprint location; data acquisition and preparation; performance comparison.
