iBeacon Scanning

[Mark Tyers]

Thanks for the awesome module, it installed without a hitch and I'm now using the context_observer.py script to scan devices. its picking up an iBeacon I installed a while back:

Advertisement(flags=0x1a, name='None', txpower=None, uuid16s=[], uuid128s=[UUID128('cbbfe0e1-f7f3-4206-84e0-84cbb3d09dfc')], rssi=-53, mfg_data=None)

I can see the UUID but is there a way to extract the major and minor integer values, I can't see them in the Advertisement object.

Hi,

You could access Advertisement.raw_data:  https://github.com/TheCellule/python-bleson/blob/master/bleson/core/types.py#L386

Then pass it to a parser such as:   https://github.com/xorbit/py-decode-beacon/blob/master/decode_beacon.py

A/that iBeacon parser is perhaps something worth adding to Bleson.

All the best
