* **Maximum distance to report (in meters)** - If the distance is over this value (default 16m), it's likely inaccurate and not worth including in trilateration.
* **Report early if beacon has moved more than this distance (in meters)** - If the device moves more than this distance, report immediately.
* **Skip reporting if message age is less than this (in milliseconds)** - The logic is: if reported recently, check time elapsed and distance moved. If moved > "Report early" distance, report immediately. If time elapsed > "Skip reporting" time, report regardless of movement.
* **NOTE:** Be certain to not filter out node IDs as inter-node communication is required for proper operation and can break items such as optimizers and Calibration in Companion.
