Enable/Disable beacon #230

Closed ryderz8 closed 7 years ago

ryderz8 commented 7 years ago

How can I enable/disable the beacon transmission programmatically?

xcastoreo commented 7 years ago

Hi @ryderz8,

I'm not sure you can disable the beacon emissions, Estimote explains it better than me. Maybe you could be interested by the flip to sleep feature, or the scheduled broadcasting one (here).

And it would be better to post your question in the forum, not in the bug tracker.

Hello @ryderz8 !

According to what @xcastoreo said, it depends on a type of your Beacon (older beacons with firmware version up to 3.4 doesn't allow disabling advertising) You can enable/disable all packets in cloud or via our sdk. If you want to do it dynamically, use flip to sleep feature (thanks once again @xcastoreo for mentioning that)

Also, for such questions, please use our forum :)
