Eddystone-TLM, Eddystone-UID and iBeacon formats have an option to configure 4 parameters. MikroTik format has an option to configure an additional parameter called "encrypt":

Advertisement interval (20ms...10s or disable)the interval in milliseconds after which an advertisement packet will be broadcasted by the tag
Freefall detect (on/off)whether to send an advertisement packet when the accelerometer (the tag) detects a freefall trigger
Tilt detect (on/off)

whether to send an advertisement when the accelerometer (the tag) detects a tilt trigger

Impact detect (on/off)whether to send an advertisement when the accelerometer (the tag) detects an impact/wake up trigger

Encrypt (on/off)

note: only available for MikroTik format

whether to encrypt acceleration, temperature, uptime, trigger action, and battery percentage parameters in the hex payload
  • When you have only advertisement interval configured without any triggers enabled - advertisement packets will be broadcasted based on the interval time set (each x seconds).
  • When the tilt trigger is enabled and the device is tilted - the advertisement packet will be broadcasted immediately.
  • When the freefall trigger is enabled and freefall is detected, as soon as the tag detects the freefalling condition -  the packet is sent.
  • When the impact trigger is enabled and the device is pushed/moved - the advertisement packet is sent at once.
  • When encrypt parameter is enabled, the hex payload data (like acceleration, temperature, uptime, trigger action, and battery percentage) is encrypted with a private key. This key is known only to the tag's owner (it is obtained with the purchase).
