hello everyone, today, we will look at
what bluetooth beacons are and i would like to
do a quick demo on configuring a beacon.
Bluetooth beacons are hardware transmitter
that constantly transmit identity or
message
this allows mobile devices to perform a
specific action whenever it comes into
proximity of the beacon. Example use case,
an art gallery may deploy a beacon for each
of the painting. This allow visitors to
load information pertaining to the painting
that is right in front of them. Do note
that the beacon itself is not
connected to the Internet. Intelligence is
provided by the accompanying app itself itself.
Let's google search "bluetooth beacon" and see
what we get. The first few entries
are advertisement but let's click on the Estimore Beacon
Tt is a very nice page and if we scroll down,
we see the diagram
depicting the use case. Beacons have been
deployed around the showroom and users
are interacting with the mobile phone to get
product information. If we scroll down further,
we see that Estimote are offering beacons in
various battery life, range, thickness and some
even with built-in sensors like motion and
temperature sensor. We must understand that there are
two competing beacon standard which
is the ibeacon and the Eddystone iBeacon
is developed by Apple, it works on
both iOS and Android. However it is
native to iOS. Eddystone however is annouced
by google in July 2015, it is cross-platform compatible
supporting both iOS and Android
and we can see that there are various packet
format We can either broadcaster a unique
ID, broadcast URL, or send telemetric
data like sensor data. And today i will
show how to configure a beacon to
broadcast URL and the beacon that i have is
by AprilBrother that you can see it is
selling for twelve dollars a piece you
have mobile apps supporting both iOS and
Android where we can quickly configure
the beacon
let's have a look. So, this is what comes
in the box. A nice case where we can put
the beacon, 3M tape so that we can tape
the beacon to do something, maybe a wall
and this is a button cell, CR2477,
it is quite big. And they also come with
a leaflet showing us where we can get
resources. And this is the bluetooth chip itself
On the underlying we can look at the
electronic circuits and what I'm going
to do is slot the button cell in. And
over here I have a mobile app so April Beacon
is downloaded from the website we
are going to use it to configure the
beacon and now click device and do a scan
Over here I have another beacon as
well so we have two, this is what we are
going to play around today
so now we see that there is two
April beacon. Over here we can identify
the last four character of the serial
number so D65A refers to the first and
D6B9 refers to the second one. We will
click on the second one first. And on the
second you can see it is now
configured for iBeacon protocol. If we
click on it we can see the list that is
supported by AprilBeacon which is the
ibeacon the Eddystone UID and a Eddystone
URL and if we scroll down you can see that
you can change some other configuration
as such as the power, advertising
interval and right now, the first beacon
that i have here, it is configured for
Eddystone URL and I have shorten the URL
because Eddystone URL do not
actually support the very long URL and
so here we are actually broadcasting the
URL and this is the power so you can
always change it here. And after the
Eddystone URL have been configured, we
can open Physical Web and it will search
for beacon
Make sure that your bluetooth and location is
on for it to work. There we are, when you click on it
it will load
the URL and note that it is HTTPS because
Google Chrome, or Physical Web only
supports encrypted sites
thank you for watching and if you have
any experience with Bluetooth beacon, please share
