Feature request : Support for raw data or payload data #26

Open justoke opened 3 years ago

justoke commented 3 years ago

I have a number of IOT hardware sensors which provide an iBeacon interface and also expose the data that they contain - temperature and humidity - in a byte array. This is shown in the example below as RawData in the BLE Scanner app. Not sure how they have done this.

I've tried all the Flutter libraries I could find for Bluetooth/BLE and none of them seem to have a method to read this raw data. When using Bluetooth libraries in embedded micro controllers the Bluetooth libraries tend to have a method to get the payload or rawdata. This can then be decoded to extract the data that the manufacturer has encoded in the byte array.

Is it possible to add such a feature to this package?

Thank you.

This feature can be provided using AltBeacon's existing methods for Android and is do-able for iOS too. This feature will be part of this plugin soon.
