Read full descriptionHide full description
This App is used with the AsBeacon to quickly find one of the same items in large quantities. Example of application scenario: at car-rental stores, used to find the car keys. First, by operating the App, each AsBeacon is given a unique item information (such as car key information). Then attach the AsBeacons to the car keys. When you want to accurately find one from a lot of car keys, you just need to click the target key in the App, and the AsBeacon attached to the key will sound and light. In the APP, the AsBeacon and the target item are matched by the information of the target item and the Bluetooth connection number of the AsBeacon. The App supports various ways to obtain the Bluetooth connection number of the AsBeacon, such as scanning the QR Code of the AsBeacon or reading the RFID tag placed in the AsBeacon. The App also supports the function of obtaining the battery power of the AsBeacon.
