I do not need turn on beacon 24/7.
I want to set period to turn on.
Estimote beacon has scheduling feature?
We have the Smart Power Mode which you can enable on your beacon via the Estimote app. (I actually think it might be enabled by default.)
Smart Power Mode makes the beacon advertise less often when there are no people around, greatly reducing the energy consumption. (Almost as if the beacon was disabled.) When anybody scanning for beacons shows up in range, the beacon goes back to its normal advertising frequency.
It’s much more convenient than manually scheduling the advertising periods, and is almost equally battery-saving, if not better. (e.g., in a low-traffic venue, the beacon will be adjusting its advertising even during working hours, while with scheduling you’d likely have it running at normal speed all this time)
