Pi 5 Asset Tracking IoT Platform
Raspberry Pi 5 Asset Tracking IoT Kit — Map BLE Beacons & Trigger Security Alerts
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a library where every book’s location is visible on a dashboard, and a lab where expensive tools can’t be moved without triggering an instant alert. With this kit, you’ll build exactly that — a BLE beacon-based real-time asset tracker running on a Raspberry Pi 5. It’s an entire IoT security platform condensed into a single project that teaches professional-grade sensor networking, data logging, and automated alert rules.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a Raspberry Pi 5 server with an NVMe SSD and Bluetooth adapter that continuously scans for five BLE beacon tags within range. Tags attached to assets like laptops, equipment, or books are plotted on a live floor plan. When a tag moves outside its designated zone or during unusual hours, the system immediately sends an alert to your mobile device — mimicking the asset monitoring setups used in real warehouses and campus labs.
What You'll Learn
- Scan BLE advertising packets and extract RSSI for proximity estimation
- Set up a Pi 5 with M.2 NVMe storage for low-latency data logging
- Implement zone-based asset tracking with anomaly detection algorithms
- Create a web dashboard displaying real-time asset locations and alert logs

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE/CSE students tackling IoT internship projects or Smart India Hackathon asset-tracking problems, CBSE Class 12 computer science enthusiasts extending their Python skills into networking, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors curating an advanced security demo. If you’ve already wired an LED and are ready to move into real-world sensor networks and anomaly rules, this is your next step.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to start a session with the AI build companion, or message us on WhatsApp. The companion references every step for this exact kit, and our team sticks with you until the system is working.
How far can the BLE tags be from the Pi 5 receiver?
Typically up to 30 metres indoors with the included USB Bluetooth adapter. Range depends on walls and interference — the dashboard helps you map signal strength to understand real coverage.
Can I add more than 5 tags to the system?
Yes, the software is designed to scale. You can buy additional BLE beacon tags from Compoden and update the tag list in the configuration file to monitor dozens of assets.
How does anomaly detection work, and can I customize the rules?
The AI companion walks you through enabling zone-based and time-based rules — for example, “Tag 3 is only allowed in Zone A between 9 AM and 6 PM”. You’ll write the Python logic yourself, so every rule is fully under your control.
BLE beacon tags scanned by Pi 5 receiver map asset locations in real time — anomalous movement triggers security alert.
