A beacon is a small, battery powered Bluetooth device. > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Beacon - Detect your presence with BLE beacons](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-beacon-detect-your-presence-with-ble-beacons/3550): > > [image] Beacon Links: Introduction This app integrate the basic flows for BLE beacons into Homey. Once the app is installed it will do a discovery of BLE devices, after a short adjustable timeout it wil keep discovering. After each discovery the app compares the found devices with the one paired.
