[Feature request] Sleep time

1

I have some of the new beacons and when the frequency and signal strength is increased for indoor location, the battery life plummets from 5 years down to 1.

An ideal solution would be to decrease the transmit power and stop beaconing (but still respond to GATT connections used for the configuration) when they don’t need to be used.

The user could configure a period of on/off for each day.
After all the beacons in buildings are mostly only used 8 out of the 24 hours :).

Location Beacons have this (because they have a built-in Real-Time Clock), it’s called Scheduled Advertising (:
