Beacon List

List of authorized beacons. Eddystone and iBeacon protocols are supported*.

*Beacon Ids can be entered the following way: Namspace:CompanyID, UUID:Major:Minor. Any of the ID parts can be omitted ex., Namespace:. UUID::, UUID::Minotr, etc

There is also possible to select Beacons Detection as the Configured, in this case, the beacons will only be detected and send if they were added to the Beacons List.

Example for the configured beacons detection in the List.

Below there is provided the example of the List, while using the Beacons Detection source as Configured. The provided example is showing the configuration for the iBeacon and Eddy-stone.

The Beacons settings is configured as showed. The iBeacon or Eddystone is added to the list with the following structure:

iBeacon – 20 Bytes (UUDI (16-bytes:major(2-bytes):minor (2-bytes))

Eddystone – 16B (Namespace (10-bytes):Instance ID(6-bytes))

There is possibility to detect the devices just by UUID or Namespace (see the 2 and 6 element in the list).

Or by the Major/Minor for iBeacons and Namespace for Eddystone. (see the 3 and 7 element in the list).
