# Eddystone
|
||||
|
||||
Support for Eddystone beacons.
|
||||

||||

### Advanced
|
||||
|
||||
Bluetooth beacons are used to indicate proximity to a place or object of interest.
|
||||
Beacons use Bluetooth advertising to broadcast a small amount of data, which can be received and acted upon by anyone in range
|
||||
with a suitable device and software, typically a smartphone and application.
|
||||
|
||||
There are various beacon message formats, which define the way Bluetooth advertising packets are used as containers for beacon data.
|
||||
iBeacon is Apple's beacon message format. Eddystone comes from Google.
