Estimotes are nice for production, but we built testing beacons out of Raspberry Pi&#x27;s<p><a href="http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/2013/10/09/how-to-make-an-ibeacon-out-of-a-raspberry-pi.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.radiusnetworks.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;10&#x2F;09&#x2F;how-to-make-a...</a><p>Here&#x27;s a link the source for an app that we wrote for a Party that we threw recently..<p><a href="https://github.com/backofthecup/HolidayParty" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;backofthecup&#x2F;HolidayParty</a><p>We built a few D3 visualizations of where users were at the party, and how fast they found hidden iBeacons... kind of like a treasure hunt game to demo the technology.

Congrats Estimotes! I have their beacons sitting on my desk. I can&#x27;t speak for the capabilities yet – but the design is <i>gorgeous</i>

I&#x27;m excited to see where this goes. I was recently on a team for the Salesforce Hackathon that created a pretty cool rewards and consumer statistics platform. Earn points for visiting, get a push notification when you receive a reward, etc. Awesome for the consumer. The business owner gets statistics based on foot traffic, peak hours, most visited beacons, etc.<p>We didn&#x27;t have any iBeacons handy (only 5 days between idea and completion), so we were using an iPad to broadcast an &quot;iBeacon&quot;. It was pretty neat. I&#x27;d like to get my hands on some of Estimotes beacons.

I was reading about how iBeacon will revolutionize contact less payments but when I read about square wallet, I thought this is already done without any need of iBeacon.<p>Thoughts? Am I missing anything here?

Also, here&#x27;s a short video showing what&#x27;s possible: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrsHBjzt2E8" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=SrsHBjzt2E8</a>

Congratulations to the Estimote guys! I&#x27;ve borrowed one of these to test out their signal strength&#x2F;consistency.<p>(At a recent AngelHack, I built an indoor-positioning system based on triangulation of signal strength. I tested with a StickNFind BLE device and a couple of homemade BLE(-ish) devices based on nRF24L01 RF modules. I&#x27;m hoping the signal strength from the Estimote is going to be more consistent than these.)

Congrats Estimote - We recently got the developer pack and implemented an Android SDK for the same, and the motes are handy. The calibration is a bit off for each mote, and thus location accuracy is a bit compromised. Hope the production version will be better calibrated.<p>We also have a similar SDK that works over indoor WiFi, though the accuracy is definitely better for the BLE beacon.

The potential applications are fascinating, but I&#x27;m getting a new picture of the thought behind Apple&#x27;s addition of Control Center in iOS 7: The Bluetooth toggle isn&#x27;t just there for a modicum of battery conservation. Sometimes you&#x27;ll welcome iBeacons; other times you&#x27;ll want to keep them at arm&#x27;s length.
