About

Scanner Bluetooth

This utility helps locate and identify Bluetooth Low Energy devices, including beacons and smartwatches. It allows users to scan, filter, and search for devices by name or manufacturer, and provides RSSI data to estimate proximity. It's useful for both developers and individuals seeking lost Bluetooth gadgets.

Highlights
  • Scan BLE, iBeacon, and Eddystone devices
  • Filter devices by type
  • Search devices by name and manufacturer
  • Estimate proximity with RSSI
  • Generate iBeacon automatically
  • Advertise phone as iBeacon
  • Copy device details to clipboard

#1 Bluetooth Scanner for BLE devices, Beacons, iBeacon and Eddystones /*****************************************************************************/ Bluetooth Scanner was developed with the intention to help Bluetooth community, including developers willing to create Bluetooth products and Apps. Bluetooth Scanner is not only used by developers, but also users that need to find their lost bluetooth devices, like fitness trackers, smartwatches, beacons and other bluetooth devices. Bluetooth Scanner Main Features /********************************/ • Scan all nearby Bluetooth Low Energy, iBeacon and Eddystone devices • Filter devices by type (All, Beacons, Eddystones, iBeacons) • Search devices by name and manufacturer • Run, pause and stop the scanner as you like to keep battery safe • Showing name, manufacturer and last update time for every device • RSSI to find out how far your devices are. The lower the number, the closer you are to the source (i.e. -25 dB very near and -80 dB is far from your BLE devices) • Supporting all Eddystone types (UID, URI and TLM) • Automatic iBeacon generator (Proximity UUID, Major and Minor) • Advertise your phone as iBeacon • Find your BLE device in proximity using the RSSI bars • Copy BLE device details to clipboard when tapping rows • Find your lost Bluetooth or BLE device Follow us on: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scannerbluetooth Comments, questions or suggestions? message us on facebook messenger: https://m.facebook.com/ScannerBluetooth

The device you need can be broadcasting nearby under a name you do not recognize. Start a scan where you expect it, filter and sort the live devices, then watch its Signal (RSSI) respond as you move. The active list refreshes every half-second with available names, inferred types, manufacturers, and RSSI. A device disappears after 12 seconds without another broadcast, so the list stays centered on the radio environment right now instead of becoming a permanent packet record. Pick one identifier and the radar smooths RSSI into three practical proximity bands: very close, close, and far. If the same identifier is not detected for five seconds, it reports signal lost rather than claiming a direction it never measured. When a peripheral accepts a connection, Services & characteristics shows the GATT structure it actually exposes. Values actually read from characteristics that report read support appear as hexadecimal bytes with printable ASCII when appropriate. Notifications from characteristics that report notify or indicate support can be monitored when the peripheral delivers them. Opening a device from the live list attempts to add or update it in a local list for renaming, revisiting, or deletion; each successful write keeps the 200 most recent records. Scanning is limited to current BLE broadcasts while the app is in the foreground and Bluetooth is powered and authorized. RSSI provides rough proximity guidance, not compass direction, GPS location, or calibrated distance. GATT inspection depends on a compatible, connectable peripheral and is not classic Bluetooth pairing or universal control for every product. Scan history, device naming and revisiting past discoveries are available without upgrading. Deep GATT inspection and radar finding each include one complimentary use. Advanced actions such as writing GATT characteristics and exporting CSV can be unlocked with a subscription.
