Beacon Status

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain what is a beacon status. Imagine a beacon as a little lighthouse that sends out a signal to help people find their way. This signal is picked up by devices like smartphones or tablets using Bluetooth technology.

Now, when you turn on a beacon, it starts sending out signals to devices within its range. These signals contain information about the beacon and the location where it is placed. So, when a device receives a signal from a beacon, it knows where it is and can use that information to do things like send a notification, show a map or trigger an action.

A beacon status is a way to check if the beacon is working properly. If a beacon is working properly, it will be sending out signals, and devices will be able to detect those signals. If a beacon has a problem, it may stop sending out signals or send out weak signals, which means devices won't be able to detect it.

To check the status of a beacon, you need a tool called a "beacon scanner" or "beacon detector." This tool scans the area for beacons and displays information about them, like their ID, location and signal strength. Based on this information, you can tell if a beacon is working properly or if it needs some maintenance.

So, in simple words, beacon status is like checking if a lighthouse is shining its light brightly or if there is something blocking it, like fog or dust. It helps us make sure that the lighthouse is doing its job of guiding ships to safety, just like a beacon helps us find our way to places.
