Do I have to use Estimote's SDK?

I wonder it I can use any open source SDK or SDK from Apple and Google? My boss has the concern of the vendor lock-in.

Hi Yue,

You can use Apple's CoreLocation Framework (or similar solution for other platforms supporting Bluetooth Smart) to discover beacons, but most advanced features like accelerometer and temperature sensors are available just from Estimote SDK.

Moreover our SDK enables managing Beacons in Estimote Cloud.
