Brand: Blue Charm Beacons

A unique pressable button beacon. Many different ways to configure to broadcast after single, double, or triple click of the convenient center button. Alternatively, broadcast regular uuid all the time, then broadcast a modified uuid for x seconds after a specified click. <br><br> This beacon can achieve ranges of up to 100 meters.<br><br> Size of the beacon is 50mm diameter x 13mm thickness. 16 month battery life (CR2032 included). The battery is easily replaceable after 16 months. (Based on 0dBm TX, 1000ms interval, and unconnectable setting).<br><br> Real time battery level can be monitored using our KBeaconPro app or retrieved programmatically using a scan request method or broadcast as part of a TLM broadcast.<br><br> Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data. (This is NOT an Eddystone URL beacon for broadcasting your website or ad message to nearby phones. That service has been SHUTDOWN WORLDWIDE by Google as of Dec 6, 2018.)<br><br> Free configuration apps for iPhone & Android allow you to adjust settings according to your needs.<br><br> Transmit distance: 0.2-100 meters.<br><br> Selectable TX levels: -40, -20, -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, +4<br><br> Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions with multiple screenshots under the Quick Start Guide menu.<br><br> This beacon is compatible with all bluetooth-capable smartphones as well as with our BLE beacon scanning gateway (Item BCG04). Works great with Home Assistant too. See our website for some sample projects using beacons with HA. (Under the "Ideas" menu at the top)

Features:

• The BC-B2 has a button trigger. You can set this up to only broadcast after a click (like a silent alert), or you can configure the button beacon to broadcast normally but then to modify the broadcast UUID for a set period of time after a click. Sort of like having one beacon broadcasting during normal times ("everything is ok"), then a “second” beacon broadcasting after sensing clicks ("special situation alert!").
• You can even assign different click types (single, double, triple) to different broadcast slots. For example, if you have a home automation system, you could have a single click trigger one automation, a double click trigger a different automation, and a triple click yet another automation.
• This beacon has a 16 month battery life (CR2032 battery is included). The battery is easily replaceable after 16 months. (Based on 0dBm TX, 1000ms interval, and unconnectable setting). On the other hand, if you configure this beacon to only broadcast for X seconds after a button click, the battery could easily last for almost ten years depending on how often you clicked the button.
• The BC-B2 has the typical adjustable broadcast power levels (called “TX” in beaconese), but it also has a super weak level of -40 and a strong level of +4, plus quite a few intermediate choices between these two extremes. You can use these if you want the range of the beacon to be very short or very long.
• You can adjust the frequency of the beacon broadcasts that are sent out by the beacon (called “interval” in beaconese). More frequent broadcasts are easier for scanners/smartphones to “see”, but that also uses more battery power. The default is one broadcast every 1022.5 milliseconds, i.e. one broadcast every 1.0225 seconds.
• Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data. The BC-B2 has five different "slots" for broadcasting (slots are numbered 0 through 4). Most users will only use one slot, but if you wanted to, you could technically broadcast up to 5 different UUID numbers all with different configurations
• Of course, we offer free beacon configuration apps for Android and iPhones. Available for free in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
• Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions with multiple screenshots under the Quick Start Guide menu.
• This beacon is compatible with all bluetooth-capable smartphones as well as with our BLE beacon scanning gateway (Item BCG04). Works great with Home Assistant too. See our website for some sample projects using beacons with HA. (Under the "Ideas" menu at the top)
