Can't see my registered beacon in google beacon platform


I have got SENSORO beacon which I have configured using congif tool from Sensoro. Then I have created a project for beacon(Google API). Then I have registered the beacon using Beacon Tool from google, it got registered. But I am unable to see my beacon in Google Beacon Platform. I waited for almost 20 hrs but still not appearing.

BTW what is difference between Eddystone and Eddystone URL, because for a single beacon I was getting Eddystone(This got registered) and Eddystone URL(Still unregistered).

Have I missed any steps or it usually take more time ?


Solution

  • About the difference between Eddystone and Eddystone URL:

    • an Eddystone beacon contains a unique identifier which must be registered with the Google Beacon dashboard. You need your own app to handle the beacon.

    • an EddyStone-URL beacon broadcasts a short https url. You don't need to register it with the Google Beacon dashboard, and more importantly, you don't need an application to deal with the beacon. Latest versions of Android and Chrome will natively display a notification to the user to suggest him to open the corresponding web page.
