Is there any other way except Google beacon dashboard, where I can create a custom dashboard for my beacon device to set a notification message? Please advise.

I am developing an app that sends vibrations to a users phone based on how long the user trying to reach them holds down a button. However, it has to work when the users app is not open. Is there a way to attach custom haptics to a notification to achieve this? I was also thinking that generating user feedback haptics locally when a message is received would work but I need it to work when the user is not using the app. Any suggestions?
This feature isn't available to the Firebase FCM library and would require the vibration settings configured on a per device basis.
How to can we send near by notification from rest client.
i have api key created in google developer console but when i check it gave me unauthorised.
Can anyone have demo of send nearby notifications using beacon beacon.
I have three Estimote beacons and I connect them using the Estimote application. But when I try to connect using another device, then it will show the lock icon. I double check the credential through which I logged in Estimote app and they are same. So I am not able to identify what is the issue.
Can anyone tell what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Here is the screenshots
Do you log in with the same Estimote account?
You need to log in with the same Estimote account then you can make setting on the Beacon.
Just click Devices => then on the top right corner you'll find it.
You can use yore Estimote account in One Device at a time. If you need to use another device you need to logout and login again in New device.
I want to push notification to users when in my beacon's proximity. That's pretty easy if I register my beacon on Google Beacon Platform using Proximity Beacon API and then register Nearby Notification against it. I do not want to register the beacon on Google Beacon Platform and still throw a notification to user through Nearby Notification API.
If you want to Google Nearby to be triggered by a beacon, you have no choice but to register the beacon with the Google Beacon Platform. That's how it works. Nearby is a system that relies on server-side configuration to send messages to a user.
That said, it is possible to send regular Android notifications to a user when they come across your beacon without registering with the Google Beacon Platform. To do this, you must have your own custom app installed on the user's phone.
You can see an example of how to do this with the Android Beacon Library in the "Getting Notified When Beacons Appear in the Area" section of this page. A more sophisticated example that scans in the background and sends a notification to the lock screen on beacon detection is in the library's reference app.
I have a beacon which support eddystone protocol. And I see some app through which you can change the UID of beacon. Even tough when I scan my beacon with android beacon tool I am unable to register it as it says that "the beacon is locked". My question how it is possible to change UID when it is hard-coded inside a chip? I may be totally wrong. And also when I use eddystone validator app it display the becaon but the UID is blank.
Look for a mobile app from the company that sold you the beacon. Identifiers are typically configured over a connectable Bluetooth service. Vendor-specific apps allow you to enter a new identifier and send it to the beacon when it is in Bluetooth range.
