Hello everyone,
We are using Nearable Beacons from Estimote and we have a lot of difficulties configurating them.
We use thousands of them to track people and assets and the configuration is a nightmare. On iOS, it takes at least 20 to connect to a single beacon. On Android, the app simply doesn’t work at all.
Right at my office, I have 250 beacons waiting for me to manually configure them and I really don’t want to spend the whole day doing that, not again…
I have tried using the Android SDK. When it does not simply fail, it takes a very long time just to connect to a beacon. I have a lot of experience in using BLE with Android, I know BLE generates many random errors. I believe that the main reason the Android SDK is so slow is that the handling of these errors is bad.
Do you have a description of the GATT profiles used in the beacon and the protocol used to read/write parameters such as interval, so that I could implement it ?
I have also noticed that the beacon automatically disconnects after 10s, probably waiting for a password. If you have the description of how this password works, it would be great.
I could use a sniffer to do that but I prefer saving time 
before going into reverse engineering.
Thanks a lot,
