Kotakt.io Beacon - Best way to identify/get/scan only your own beacons?

630 views Asked by At

For Kontakt.io and Specially for "iBeacon", I have been looking for ways to identify and get my own beacons which I would provide to my users.

I need to get solution for both Android and iOS.

With my initial search I have some results for Android as,

This Sample class demonstrate that we can use and apply filters.

Also this one suggests on iBeacon profile identifiers – best practise


My Concerns are,

For applying filter, I need to know particular range of ids and what If I want to go beyond that, I will have to change my code to include that range every time?

Is there any sample/guide for iOS to apply filter ?

If anyone has done this, what approach you have used to scan & get only your own devices ?

Please provide me guide/demo/suggestion for iOS and Android both.

I would recommend to play with Kontakt.io API or Kontakt.io Security.

Region basically is the area around beacon (where you can receive its packets).

If you do not want to place those values like Unique ID and Minor / Major / UUID than try Kontakt.io Secure.

In android it is easy, you need to place default UUID and the iBeacon Listener basically solves the security in the backend for you.

Regarding the play with API, you can fetch the values from the cloud and than use them as variables in the application.
