1. Add beacon to station
Start by clicking on the name of the Station you want to add a beacon to and then Add Beacon to Station.
This will open a drawer on the right side of the screen, where you start by clicking on Add beacon to give your beacon a title.
2. Add beacon
(See more about UUID, major and minor numbers here)
Start by clicking on Add beacon to give your beacon a title (or Alias).
The UUID field will autofills with a number from Kontakt.io (the provider we usually work with). If you’re using beacons from another provider you will have another number so just copy it and paste it here or insert it manually.
Insert the Major and Minor numbers as you see them in your app or on your beacon.
Good, now let’s click on save and add this beacon to a station. Drag it like this and place it on the station where you want it to activate content:
4. x- and y-axis & radius
Here the x- and y-axis fields autofill in regards to where you drag the beacon, but you can also fill in these numbers manually.
Below you set the radius. The proximity measurement is best within 1-2 meters distance from the beacon, and accuracy will decrease the further away you go.
iBeacons proximity is normally divided into immediate (within a meter), near (within 6 meters) and far (within 30 meters). Please keep this in mind when selecting a distance for your beacons.
You can also choose if you want this beacon to activate the floor or only this station. If you choose floor activation, it will also appear on the side panel to the left, under Floor Activation Beacons.
Click save and exit.
Congratulations, you’re done with adding your first beacon to a station!
