Description of ๐Ÿ”ต Blue Charm Bluetooth BLE iBeacon with Motion Sensor and Button Trigger - BLE 5.0

Our newest 4-year battery life, water-resistant beacon with a unique button trigger AND motion sensor. The button and/or motion sensor can optionally be configured so that the beacon only broadcasts for X seconds after being pressed or moved. Alternatively, it can broadcast a different UUID after the button is pressed or the beacon is moved. This feature adds a powerful level of active (button press) or passive (motion sensing) interaction to the beacon. This unique Multi-Beacon broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM allows you to monitor battery level via app. Free configuration apps for iPhone & Android allow you to adjust settings according to your needs. Transmit distance: 0.2-90 meters when using BLE 5.0. Selectable TX levels: -40, -20, -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, +4dBm. Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions with multiple screenshots under the Quick Start Guide menu.

Excellent BLE beacon for home automation

I use this beacon in combination with a room assistant and a home assistant to do some awesome things. I use distance measurements to determine if my trash cans are home or outside so I can send reminders when it's trash/recycle day and they haven't been thrown away. I use the motion sensor to determine when each can is empty so I can put it back in. I also put one on the inside of the mailbox door to tell when the mail was delivered. They were reliable and flexible. and they were easy toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Network adapter
Cons
  • Fits

Great Support: Networking Products

Good Signal. Very prompt and helpful email support from Thomas after I wanted to do something that wasn't included for this. I bought another Blue Charm Beacon model and it worked as well. Will definitely buy again if I find more uses for it.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • I'm Concerned

Works as advertised

This little guy just works. But what really stands out is the customer service. They are cool. I have one more review to repeat. The puck button's function isn't a soft button on one of the large rounded sides (which you might mistake for up or down), but rather a reuse of the on/off switch located on the side. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that little fact.

Pros
  • Networking Products
Cons
  • Long Time

The circle in the center is not a button

I was mainly interested in the functionality of the button and assumed it was the circle in the center when in fact it was a very small button on the side acts. It's so small that it defeats the purpose of using the button to do something useful. I wanted to use the button function as a cheap way to use it as a lap timer, but in this case there are some issues with using it. First, the smallest interval announced after a key press is 10 seconds. So if you have to press them again 10 secondsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Best in class iBeacon!

I am using this iBeacon on iOS 14 (in my case for use with pushcut). Unlike other beacons I've tested, my Blue Charm Beacon works absolutely flawlessly right out of the box. I love this lighthouse! Most users will not need to set up their beacon, but for those who do, there is a companion app on the App Store that allows you to do this, including but not limited to viewing and editing UUIDs, main and small caps. Finally, there is a well-written quick start guide that is extremely helpful. Itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Bluetooth network adapter
Cons
  • Some difficulties
