Devices

Get visibility into any Bluetooth device in seconds. Register your beacons, GPS trackers, and sensors on a Blecon network, and the system starts processing their signals immediately — calculating positions, generating events, and delivering data to your applications.

Registering devices

Devices must be registered on a network before the system processes their signals. You can register devices through:

  • The Blecon Console — Add devices individually by entering their device ID.
  • Scanning — Use the Blecon Agent to scan nearby devices and register them.
  • The API — Register devices programmatically via the REST API.

For step-by-step instructions, see Register and scan devices.

Device IDs

Every device has a unique identifier. Blecon supports multiple ID formats depending on the device type:

  • UUID — Standard UUID format (e.g., 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000)
  • iBeacon — UUID with major and minor values
  • Bluetooth MAC — Hardware address format
  • Eddystone — Google Eddystone UID format

See Supported device ID formats for the full list.

Device status

In the Console, each device shows:

  • Last seen — When the device was last detected by a hotspot.
  • Network — Which network the device belongs to.
  • Position — The device's last known position (if positioning is enabled).
