TG-BT5-IN: slim and sleek, perfect for indoor inventory tracking

Bluetooth tags play a huge role in IoT setups, where Bluetooth is used to broadcast the data over short distances. You can use these small devices for proximity-based tracking of various objects. For example, if you have a KNOT gateway in different parts of a construction site, you can use these tags to locate construction tools, electrical equipment, and other assets.

Just attach the tags to the necessary items – and the nearest gateway will sense the tags in its proximity. Exceptionally useful in warehouse logistics – let your cargo inform you as soon as it enters the warehouse! They use so little power that a single built-in 220 mAh battery will last for years.

Once activated, the tag will broadcast iBeacon, Eddystone or MikroTik telemetry advertising packets to the gateway (such as the KNOT or any other BLE gateway). These packets contain MAC address used for ID, as well as telemetry data – such as acceleration, tilt and battery charge level. The gateway then pushes the data to the remote server utilizing MQTT or HTTP protocols. By default, advertisement packets are sent once every 5 seconds, but you can change this value to your liking. For example, if you set the interval to 1 second, the battery will typically last two years. The built-in accelerometers can not only detect acceleration (movement), but can also register if the device was dropped or tilted (free-fall detection). The indoor version of our BLE tags works best in a temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. It is splash-proof, and comes with a built-in accelerometer.

  1. Simon Finch –

    I bought a couple of these MikroTik BLE tags from apsardze24.lv for tracking tools in our small workshop. They are incredibly small and light, yet the accelerometer works perfectly to detect when tools are moved. The battery life is impressive. Super happy with both the tags and the fast delivery from the store!

    Simon Finch –

What kind of data does the built-in accelerometer actually report?

The integrated LIS2DH12 accelerometer provides telemetry data including movement detection, tilt angles, and free-fall events. These data points are included in the advertising packets and can be used to trigger alerts if an asset is dropped or moved without authorization.

Is this the official EU version of the MikroTik TG-BT5-IN?

Yes, this is the official EU version, ensuring compliance with local frequency regulations and full compatibility with the MikroTik software ecosystem. It includes the standard 2-year warranty provided by Apsardze24.lv.

Is the TG-BT5-IN suitable for tracking assets in cold storage or outdoors?

This is the indoor version (IN) with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. It is splash-proof but not designed for sub-zero temperatures or direct exposure to heavy rain; for those environments, an outdoor-rated model is required.

Which Bluetooth protocols are supported by this tracking tag?

The tag supports iBeacon, Eddystone, and MikroTik’s proprietary telemetry format. This allows the device to be recognized by MikroTik KNOT gateways as well as any third-party BLE-to-Cloud gateways.

How do I activate the MikroTik TG-BT5-IN for the first time?

The tag is shipped in a sleep state to preserve battery; you can activate it by holding a magnet to the designated area for a few seconds. Once activated, it begins broadcasting BLE packets according to the factory default interval.

Can I replace the internal battery if it runs out?

The battery in this specific model is not user-replaceable as the device is factory-sealed to maintain its slim profile and splash-proof rating. For high-volume deployment maintenance or recycling advice, contact our support at [email protected].

Can I change the broadcast frequency to improve tracking accuracy?

Yes, you can configure the advertisement interval through the MikroTik mobile application via a Bluetooth connection. Apsardze24.lv notes that while shorter intervals provide more precise location updates, they will increase battery consumption.

Where is the service center located if I encounter a technical defect?

All warranty and technical service for this product is handled locally at our service center in Riga. This ensures a much faster resolution and support process for Baltic customers compared to purchasing from non-local retailers.

How long will the battery last on the TG-BT5-IN asset tag?

The built-in 220mAh battery is designed to last several years under normal conditions. If you configure the advertising interval to 1 second, the battery typically lasts about two years, whereas the default 5-second interval extends it significantly further.
