iBeacon and Eddystone ranging, background region monitoring, and broadcasting.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to:

• Be notified when the device enters or leaves a beacon region, including in the background
• Read Eddystone UID, URL or TLM (telemetry) frames
• Turn the device itself into an iBeacon or Eddystone beacon
• Tune beacon distance/proximity accuracy
• Diagnose why beacon distances are jumping around, or why a region never fires
