Class BeaconConnection

java.lang.Object

com.estimote.sdk.connection.BeaconConnection

Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public class BeaconConnection
extends java.lang.Object

Responsible for reading and changing beacon's configuration. It establishes connection to the beacon and authorizes access to it.

In order to successfully authorize access to beacon, beacon needs to be registered to your Estimote Cloud. You need to provide Estimote Cloud credentials via EstimoteSDK.initialize(Context, String, String) prior to connecting to beacon.

Exposes methods to change beacon's UUID, major, minor, advertising advertisingInterval, broadcasting transmitPower, transmitPower modes values. You can only change those values only if there is established connection to beacon.

It is very important to close() connection when it is not needed.

Usage:

   BeaconConnection connection = new BeaconConnection(context, beacon, new BeaconConnection.ConnectionCallback() {
      @Override public void onConnected(BeaconInfo beaconInfo) {
       Log.d(TAG, "Authenticated to beacon. Info: " + beaconInfo);
       Log.d(TAG, "Advertising internal: " + connection.advertisingIntervalMillis().get());
       Log.d(TAG, "Broadcasting transmitPower: " + connection.broadcastingPower().get());
     }

      @Override public void onAuthenticationError(EstimoteDeviceException exception) {
       Log.d(TAG, "Authentication Error: " + exception);
     }

      @Override public void onDisconnected() {
       Log.d(TAG, "Disconnected");
     }
   });

   connection.authenticate();

   // Interact with beacon.

   // You can update beacon's properties in following way:
   connection.edit()
     .set(connection.proximityUuid(), newUuid)
     .set(connection.major(), newMajor)
     .set(connection.minor(), newMinor)
     .commit(new BeaconConnection.WriteCallback() {
         @Override public void onSuccess() {}
         @Override public void onError(EstimoteDeviceException exception) {}
     });

   // Do not forget to close connection.
   connection.close();
 

This class is deprecated. Please use DeviceConnection obtained from DeviceConnectionProvider.

temperature

public Property<java.lang.Float> temperature()

Deprecated.

Property for reading temperature value from beacon. Value is reported in Celsius.

Note that Property.get() will return cached value. If you want to read most up to date temperature value, do use Property.getAsync(Property.Callback).

temperatureCalibration()

temperatureCalibration

public Property<java.lang.Float> temperatureCalibration()

Deprecated.

Calibrates the beacon’s thermometer sensor.

Beacons are basically calibrated out of the box, but additional manual calibration is recommended in order to minimize measurement error. When the sensor is not calibrated, measurement error is ±4 Celsius degrees. After calibration it’s ±2 Celsius degrees.

To perform calibration you need to keep the beacon at room temperature for a couple of minutes. Use a separate thermometer to read the actual value (in Celsius degrees) and pass it.

This property is write only. If you try to read it, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown.

Returns:

Beacon's temperature calibration (write-only).

Enables or disables the accelerometer allowing to detect if beacon is in motion.

Returns:

Beacon's accelerometer enabled property.

Deprecated.

A flag indicating if the beacon is in motion or not.

This property is read only. If you try to write to it, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown.

Returns:

Beacon's accelerometer state (in motion or not in motion).

secureUUID

public Property<java.lang.Boolean> secureUUID()

Deprecated.

Property for enabling/disabling Secure UUID.

Read more @see What security features does Estimote offer? How does Secure UUID work?

protected InternalEstimoteCloud getInternalEstimoteCloud()

Deprecated.

setMotionListener

public void setMotionListener(Property.Callback<MotionState> callback)

Deprecated.

Sets listener to beacon's motion changes. When beacon starts to move, information about it will be dispatched immediately. Information about beacon's no movements will be dispatched after 2 seconds of remaining still. This method should be called when connection is established (@isConnected() returns true).
