Can Eddystone advertise mode can be non connectable scannable?

[Sridhar Jonnavittula]

Hi,

I see that Eddystone packets has service data limited to 20 bytes frame data. But unfortunately I have to encode more than 20 bytes.

So can I use advertise mode as non connectable scannable so that in scan response data I will keep service UUID type and data?

Please suggest!!

Thanks

Hi Sridhar

The Eddystone standard allows you to configure multiple frames, each of which can contain different types of data. 

This is normally used to allow you to advertise multiple different types of Eddystone packets (such as one URL packet and one TLM packet), but can also be used to advertise multiple packets of the same type. 

This is more in keeping with the Eddystone standard than to use the scan response packet.

For suppose in the Mobile app we expect the some TLM packet format but if we change data, the effort of that Mobile app may change for every alternate packet right.

Am I clear?

Thanks

Hi Sridhar

I am a bit unsure what you mean. 

The mobile app will receive different packets from the same advertiser, but you should be able to use the BLE MAC address to identify which of the packets belong to the same beacon. 

If you get two Eddystone packets with different data but the same MAC address then you should group the data together in the app.
