# 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
