Advertise the Bluetooth proxy as an iBeacon - #7
Merged
Conversation
Home Assistant retains its requested scan mode while the proxy reconnects. Waiting for a subscription before scanning reports NONE against that request, which makes Home Assistant mark the scanner as broken and ask for a power cycle. Keep the radio scanning whenever the proxy is enabled, but discard reports until a client subscribes so unused advertisements do not fill the delivery queue.

echodemit a BLE iBeacon for use in BPS or other triangulation-based tools.The iBeacon uses a custom UUID so
echolocalinstalls are identifiable, and it sets theminorfield of the iBeacon to a value derived from the MAC address of the device.Since advertising and scanning use the same radio, the radio integration/listeners/senders needed enhancements to
The MAC address was repeatedly calculated across a few areas of the
echodcodebase, so I took an opportunity to centralize that so all callsites are consistent.The four new commits
