The Scan response packet contains basic information about a Beacon.
Once an advertising packet has been received by a scanning device (such as a mobile), further information can be requested. The Beacon responds with the Scan response packet. After sending the scan response packet (this is sent just once) the Beacon will continue broadcasting advertising packets.
The package length is variable (up to 31 bytes), depending on the length of the device name.
The scan response packet consists of:
- Device name
- Transmission power
- Beacon ID
- Firmware version
- Battery level
