iBeacon2Web

Beacon2Web is a simple beacon region and ranging application. It translates the detected information from a iBeacon and provides it to a given URL as a query string. This allows a large number of potential DIY applications to be built on top of iBeacon technology

To use this app, simply add a beacon with the relevant information and provide the web service URL to call.

There is also support to only detect for a beacon but NOT send the information to any URL.

Take note that for the URL to be succesfully connected, it needs to return a valid JSON file.

The information passed to the query string includes
- beacon UUID
- identifier
- major number
- minor number
- proximity (Immediate, Near, Far, Entered, Exited)
- deviceUUID (generated upon install for web service to filter if its a valid device)

*Note that this app does not work well on an iPhone4S

更新履歴
Version 1.2.1
- Improved geofencing updates with monitoring of significant location changes when the app goes into the background with location updates
- Improved error recovery when the URL cannot be sent. it will retry until the update is successfully sent.
- Automatically send the initial state of the regions when the app refreshes. This tries to give the server and update when all the regions are initialised.
- New local notifications for system messages. You can turn this on or off in the help section
- Ability to now define your own device ID.
- Apple watch support for local notifications.
- Included a few new information
(a) co-ordinates of the device when the region is detected or ranged, key: latitude, longitude
(b) included acquired time so as to capture when the region was entered or exited. key: acquired

What does this mean to you? This means that the integration scripts that you build in the back end to do recovery checks and use the region change acquired time to perform actions. This would also mean you can further determine where are your boundaries of detection.
