Model Number BC04P

Our most advanced extra long range, water-resistant (IP67) beacon with adjustable movement sensor accelerometer.

This beacon can achieve ranges of up to 100 meters using its standard iBeacon broadcast.

4 year battery life (CR2477 included). The battery is easily replaceable after 4 years.

Real time battery level can be monitored using our KBeaconPro app or retrieved programmatically using a scan request method or broadcast as part of a TLM broadcast.

Using its built-in motion sensor, this beacon can be configured to broadcast only after sensing movement. Can also be configured to broadcast normally but then to broadcast a slightly modified iBeacon UUID or different protocol after sensing movement.

Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data. The BC04P has five different "slots" for broadcasting (slots are numbered 0 through 4). Most users will only use one slot, but if you wanted to, you could technically broadcast up to 5 different UUID numbers all with different configurations.

Free configuration apps for iPhone & Android allow you to adjust settings according to your needs.

Transmit range: 0.2-100 meters using iBeacon legacy, 300 meters with PHY-coded scanner, and 900 meters with long range PHY-coded scanner.

Wide range of TX broadcast power settings from super low -40 to extra powerful +8dBm

This beacon is also capable of broadcasting a PHY-coded broadcast and can then achieve ranges of 300 meters with a PHY scanner or 900 meters with a long-range PHY scanner. At this time, there are no smartphones capable of PHY-coded scanning, but there are BLE gateways that can do so.

Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions w/ multiple screenshots under Quick Start Guide menu.

Warning: Do not set to Phy coded unless you have a Phy coded scanner.

This beacon is compatible with all bluetooth-capable smartphones as well as with our BLE beacon scanning gateway (Item BCG04). Works great with Home Assistant too. See our website for some sample projects using beacons with HA. (Under the "Usage Examples" menu at the top)
