🌀 Android Beacon Scanner

A simple android beacon scanner that can recognize iBeacons, AltBeacons, Eddystone beacons (UID and URL, with or without TLM) and RuuviTags available on Google Play.

Available for android 4.3+ and smartphones with Bluetooth LE.

🔑 Features

This app will scan for beacons near you! ✌️

For all Beacons:

• The type of beacon (iBeacon, AltBeacon, Eddystone or RuuviTag)
• The approximation of the distance with the beacon (this is based on the RSSI value received and is NOT accurate)
• The beacon address and manufacturer code
• The RSSI and TX values
• The last time the beacon has been seen

For iBeacons and AltBeacons:

• UUID
• Major
• Minor

For Eddystone-UID beacons:

• NamespaceID
• InstanceID
• TLM data sent if any

For Eddystone-URL and RuuviTag

• Clickable URL
• TLM data sent if any

For RuuviTag:

• Air Pressure
• Temperature
• Humidity

It can display several frames emitted by a single beacon, allowing you to see if a beacon emits multiple frames types (for example radius network beacons can emit iBeacon and AltBeacon at the same time)!

• You can also log the scans of the beacons to an endpoint via a HTTP POST request.
