Yes, you can have your existing Estimote Beacons broadcast the Eddystone format:
- Update firmware to version 3.1.1.
- Change the broadcasting scheme from “iBeacon” to “Eddystone-UID” or “Eddystone-URL.” Currently, Estimote Beacons can only broadcast one of these three options at a time, but you can switch between them freely.
You can do all of this using the latest version of the Estimote Android app from Google Play Store.
Estimote iOS app with an option to update the firmware to Eddystone-compatible 3.1.1 + an option to switch between iBeacon and Eddystone is coming early next month. You can however download the Estimote iOS SDK, build the “Examples” beacon project and use this one to update the firmware (“Update Firmware Demo”) and change the broadcasting scheme (“Beacon Settings Demo”).
Both the Estimote iOS SDK and Android SDK can already detect Eddystone beacons, just make sure you have the latest version.
