Get familiar with the Kontakt.io Administration App

Why do I need your app?

Kontakt.io Beacons are Bluetooth-based devices. The only way to communicate with them is over the Bluetooth radio.

Once you create new settings for your beacons via the Kontakt.io Panel, you need to deliver them using Bluetooth.That is why Kontakt.io provides you with an Admin App for both iOS and Android. Variously, if you’re a developer and you’re writing an application, you can use our SDKs to seamlessly pass information from the Panel or API to a beacon that needs to be configured.
