+# Mussel Sensor Beacon
+
+1. Reads sensors.
+
+2. Normalises sensor data as a gape angle in the range of 0°-90°.
+
+3. Broadcasts normalised sensor data as a beacon on a bluetooth network.
+
+## Scanner apps
+
+These Android apps have been found usable
+for monitoring this type of sensor:
+
+ * FeasyBeacon on Play store
+ * NanoBeacon BLE Scanner on Play store
+ * decodes Eddystone TLM temperature as Fahrenheit
+ * does not decode Eddystone URL
+ * SemBeacon on Play store
+ * detects URL-only but not TLM-only Eddystone Beacon
+ * too aggressive caching misses changing data
+ * UI optimized for SemBeacon
+ * nRF Connect for Mobile on Play store
+ * misses changing data
+ * UI not specific to beacons
+
+These Android apps are potentially interesting as well:
+
+ * Beacon Locator on F-droid
+ * unreliable detection
+ * active development
+ * BLE Radar on F-droid
+ * detects URL-only but not TLM-only Eddystone Beacon
+ * UI not specific to beacons
+ * AltBeacon Loc on Play store
+ * detects URL-only but not TLM-only Eddystone Beacon
