Tool: A Command Line Interface For iBeacons Providing Easy Broadcasting And Scanning

I’ve mentioned a number of tutorials for working with iBeacons most recently a step by step guide to creating a proximity based treasure hunting app.

Here’s a tool making it easier to work with iBeacons providing a command-line interface for easy broadcasting and detection called iBeacon-CLI from Radius Networks.

iBeacon-CLI allows you to easily configure iBeacons with a large amount of configuration options as shown in this help dump from the readme:

ibeacon: iBeacon command line utility

<pre><code>  -h  –help             Display this message
  -v  –version          Display ‘Version 1.0.1’
  -s  –scan             Scan for iBeacons
  -b  –broadcast        Broadcast as an iBeacon

Scan options:
  -i  –interval         Time interval in seconds

Broadcast options:
  -u  –uuid             Proximity UUID
  -M  –major            Major Identifier
  -m  –minor            Minor Identifier
  -p  –power            Advertised Power
</code></pre>

You can find iBeacon CLI on Github here.

A nice tool for working with iBeacons.
