Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon simulator. This app transforms your Android device into a virtual BLE beacon advertiser and transmitter. You can create your own collection of beacon configurations and use them anytime, anywhere, to emulate a physical beacon. Its purpose is essentially to help developers working on beacon software with more flexibility than with some real beacons. Current features: - Broadcast and advertise iBeacon, AltBeacon, Eddystone - Eddystone support for: URL, UID, unencrypted TLM (telemetry), EID (Ephemeral ID) - Create, edit, manage and save your beacon configurations - Background broadcast - Scan of nearby beacons, copy of their configuration - Check tool to know how many broadcast is possible on your phone - In English and French Android limitations: - the MAC address is automatically managed by Android, and will change for each new EID rotation - not possible to broadcast several different frames with a same MAC address - broadcast capability depends on your phone, you can use the check tool to know what is possible for you Other limitations: - TLM data are static in time - Scan is not a main feature of the app for now, just an helper Permissions are for: - bluetooth: scan, broadcast using Bluetooth - location: unfortunately, required by Android to perform a Bluetooth scan
