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.

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

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.
