Crownstone’s indoor positioning hardware uses your mere presence and proximity to control lights and devices in the home or office environment. Crownstone also provides indoor positioning to businesses on its hardware-as-a-platform.
Switch

Bluetooth Low Energy positioning can be fairly accurate. It all depends on the number of Crownstones you use! See in this video clip below how we move a smartphone in a miniature house from room to room and you see how the picture moves accordingly.
The Crownstone is a device with many functions. If only picking one function, it already compares favorably to the competition:
