Description
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.
The code is open source and available here 🤓

1 ★ Simply doesn't work. It cannot find any Bluetooth device...
5 ★ Really like the fact that is open source and that I can log scans via a HTTP POST
4 ★ Hello can I see multiple beacons emitted by same device at 1 second on this app? I will change the rating after testing the app :)
