Using telemetry advertiser

Estimote Location Beacons can broadcast Estimote Telemetry data packet, which gives you extra information from sensors and GPIO. This packet uses its own advertiser - you can easily enable/disable it and change its advertising interval and Tx power.

Enabling telemetry

If you want your beacon to advertise telemetry packets, you need a DeviceConnection object with an opened connection. You can get it from DeviceConnectionProvider in your activity. More about creating stable connection to your own devices can be found here.

DeviceConnection connection = connectionProvider.getConnection(device);
connection.connect(new DeviceConnectionCallback(){...});

Then you can change beacon settings to enable telemetry advertising.

boolean enable = true;
connection.settings.estimote.telemetry.enable().set(enable, new SettingCallback<Boolean>() {
     @Override
     public void onSuccess(Boolean value) {
       // Handle success here
     }

     @Override
     public void onFailure(DeviceConnectionException exception) {
       // Handle failure here
     }
   });

Adjusting telemetry advertising interval

int advertisingInterval = 1000;
connection.settings.estimote.telemetry.advertisingInterval().set(advertisingInterval, new SettingCallback<Integer>() {
      @Override
      public void onSuccess(Integer value) {
       // Handle setting success here
      }

      @Override
      public void onFailure(DeviceConnectionException exception) {
       // Handle failure here
      }
    });

Adjusting telemetry transmit power

int txPower = 4;
connection.settings.estimote.telemetry.transmitPower().set(txPower, new SettingCallback<Integer>() {
      @Override
      public void onSuccess(Integer value) {
         // Handle setting success here
      }

      @Override
      public void onFailure(DeviceConnectionException exception) {
        // Handle failure here
      }
    });
