Hi,

How can i get info about estimote beacon without specify MAJOR and MINOR?

This is possible?

I have many many beacons and i don´t like to specify each one on my app.

Thanks !

What does your app do? I’ll be happy to advise about the best practices (:

Hi, thanks for the answer.

Example for one scenario:

We have 20 clients and only one app.

When the user stay close to a beacon (no mater what company is) the app will launch any information.

My question is: My application need to know every beacon of the 20 clients?

Or, i will get information for beacon after?

My question is because on the SDK, i need to inform UID, MAJOR and MINOR every time… like this sample of code:

self.beaconManager.startMonitoringForRegion(CLBeaconRegion(
proximityUUID: NSUUID(UUIDString: “B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D”)!,
major: 123, minor: 123, identifier: “monitored region”))

Please, tell me if you need more information or explanation.

Thank you very much

Technically, to detect an iBeacon you only need to know the UUID. So if you set all your beacons to the same, custom UUID, then you can do:

self.beaconManager.startMonitoringForRegion(CLBeaconRegion(
proximityUUID: NSUUID(UUIDString: "<your custom UUID>")!, identifier: "monitored region"))

Then, you will get a didEnter event whenever you enter range of a beacon with that UUID. Note however that as long as you stay in range of that beacon, you won’t get any more didEnter events from any beacons with that UUID. But if you only want to show some information whenever a user is range of one of your client’s beacons, that should be okay!

Thanks Heypiotr.

This can solve many problems. But, not all.

Imagine this scenario:

4 beacons with the same UUID at each 10 meters.

How can i receive didEnter of each beacon?

Thank you very much.
