Hi !

I tried to monitor an ibeacon emulated from an application (Beacon simulator). I have no problem when I use the mac address from my phone to monitor it. But, since they can change, I would like to use the uuid of my simulated ibeacon. I tried to put it inside the file known_beacon_addresses like this :

2F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6 mybeacon

But it don't seems to have any effect... Is it like this we have to filter an ibeacon with UUID ?

The MAC address of your iPhone will not change over time. You can use this perfectly well to track your phone.
