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
