Eddystone™, the open beacon format from Google (en)

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Eddystone is a Google open beacon format that specifies three frame types and how to parse them: UID, URL and TLM frames with the UID using a 16‑byte id split into a 10‑byte namespace and 6‑byte instance, the URL limited to 17 bytes with a compression map, and TLM carrying battery/temperature/uptime and frame counts. Code demos use Android BluetoothLeScanner (startScan + filters) and Nearby stack; there is a global beacon database and RESTful Proximity Beacon API plus client consumption via the Nearby Messages API. Beacons broadcast every 1–2 seconds, cost ~€15–20, and run for years on battery.
