What is Bluetooth Beacon?

Beacon is a broadcast communication protocol based on the Bluetooth LE protocol. Beacon devices are low-power Bluetooth slave devices that use this protocol. In general, Beacon devices are placed at a fixed position indoors and broadcast a data packet to surrounding devices at intervals. An independent Bluetooth master device will receive data packets broadcast by Beacon devices at intervals during scanning. Tuya Beacon is a private protocol based on the preceding principles and is different from the standard Beacon protocol.
