Hello,
I would like to create my beacon application to publish periodically (e.g. 10sec) data related to three temperature sensor.
What're the possible solution to implement it? Eddystone-TLM? Multi-advertisement? Single- advertisement?
Do you have some suggestion?
Where can I find documentation?
Thank in advance
Hi,
What're the possible solution to implement it? Eddystone-TLM? Multi-advertisement? Single- advertisement?
Do you have some suggestion?
Actually, all solutions you listed are possible solutions. :D
And there are many more 
Choosing which format and implementation to use will be dependent on your overall system design. Some example concerns are:
- Which device do you want to observe that data, and how?
- Which device do you want to not observe that data?
- How do you acquire the data from the sensor? One beacon device reading all three sensors, or one beacon device each sensor?
Depends on your requirement, a beacon might even not be what you want!
Making a good design probably involve solving your next questions:
Where can I find documentation?
For your current particular interest in beacon broadcasting temperature data, I can recommend the following webminar:
- Video: Everything you need to know about Bluetooth LE advertising
- Presentation is here
For documentation on BLE Advertising and Beacon, you can look at:
- Sample: Bluetooth: Beacon
- Sample: Bluetooth: Periodic Advertising
- Sample: Bluetooth: Scan & Advertise
- BLE Advertising APIs are included in: Generic Access Profile (GAP)
For more guides on working with the nRF Connect SDK, you can look at our : Guides
Wikipedia also has a pretty great entry: Bluetooth Low Energy beacon - Wikipedia
Finally, the official all about BLE advertisement documentation is the Bluetooth Core Specification and its supplements. However, that can be real hard to read
For getting a quick start and/or simple application (such as the one you described), I do recommend going through the webminar or some similar online articles, and then dive right in and play with some samples.
Best regards,
Hieu
