Hi,
I want to use beacons in my application. I've noticed that there are 2 examples - beacons and eddystone. Which one should I use?
Thanks!

This is what I need:
When my nrf device starts advertising, the mobile should send a connection request.
The problem is that my device doesn't advertise all the time, only in specific cases. Therefore - I don't want the mobile to search for advertising 100% of the time.
So I'm trying the beacons solution. The mobile will recognize the beacons packets when it's in range, and only after that, the mobile will search for connection advertisment.
Does it make sense?
Thanks!
So do we have another solution for that?
How can the mobile recognize a connection advertisment without search for that and use a lot of power?
A Central cannot see any advertising at all without searching for it!
But what makes you think this takes "a lot of power" ?

Ok,
One more thing - I understood that the beacons have the ability to "wake" a mobile device, even if it's on sleep mode. Is that right?
That will give me the option to send beacons to the mobile anytime, and that will trigger the mobile to start scanning, while my nrf device starts connection advertising.
What is your opinion?
Thanks!
