On http://estimote.github.io/iOS-SDK/Classes/ESTBeacon.html, Publicly available properties include them both. What's the difference?

Hi Allen,

motionUUID is associated with the accelerometer. The idea is to broadcast it when the beacon is in motion, so monitoring apps can notice that.

Hi,

You can already do that, you just need to define the proximityUUID via our SDK :)

Cheers.

Is it possible to read it without connecting to the Ibeacon? I read somewhere that the wasn't ready yet.

Hi Camilo,

It is now :) After you set up motionUUID, the beacon will advertise it once put in motion. No need for direct connection.
