-====== Eddystone ======+====== Eddystone ​Beacons======
  
 +[[https://​developers.google.com/​beacons/​eddystone|Eddystone beacons]] are Bluetooth LE devices that repeatedly send out Google-defined Eddystone advertising. There are four variants; UID - similar to  iBeacon sending out a unique id, URL - sends a web address, EID - sends a time varying unique id for secure applications,​ TLM - sends out status information.
 +
 +Google also flirted with the idea of having standard software, [[https://​github.com/​google/​eddystone/​tree/​master/​configuration-service|Eddystone Configuration GATT Service]], in all beacons, accessible via standard (Eddystone) [[gatt|GATT]] services. They provided a [[https://​github.com/​google/​eddystone/​tree/​master/​implementations|standard implementation]] but there was poor takeup by manufacturers. ​
 +
 +While beacons can send out Eddystone-URL,​ this became redundant when [[https://​android-developers.googleblog.com/​2018/​10/​discontinuing-support-for-android.html|Google dropped Nearby detection]] of this type of beacon.
