<p>This node scans for Eddystones and publishes what it finds. It can output 2 types of message</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>URL</strong> -
<ul>
<li>type - Eddystone type</li>
<li>txPower - Received power at 0m in dBm</li>
<li>url - The URL the beacon is broadcasting</li>
<li>tlm - TLM data, if the device is interleaving broadcasts</li>
<li>rssi - RSSI of the beacon</li>
<li>distance - Estimated distance to the beacon</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>UID</strong> -
<ul>
<li>type - Eddystone type</li>
<li>txPower - Received power at 0m in dBm</li>
<li>namespace - 10-byte ID of namspace</li>
<li>instance - 6-byte ID insance</li>
<li>tlm - TLM data, if the device is interleaving broadcasts</li>
<li>rssi - RSSI of the beacon</li>
<li>distance - Estimated distance to the beacon</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Where the tlm data will be in the following format</p>
<ul>
<li>tlm -
<ul>
<li>version - TML version</li>
<li>vbatt - Battery Voltage</li>
<li>temp - Temperature</li>
<li>advCnt - Advertising PDU count</li>
<li>secCnt - Time since power on or reboot</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>rssi - RSSI of diecovered beacon</li>
<li>distance - Approximate distance to beacon</li>
<p>This node scans for Eddystones and publishes what it finds. It can output 2 types of `msg.payload`</p>
<p>Either a <b>URL</b> type:</p>
<ul>
<li>`type` - Eddystone type</li>
<li>`txPower` - Received power at 0m in dBm</li>
<li>`url` - The URL the beacon is broadcasting</li>
<li>`tlm` - TLM data, if the device is interleaving broadcasts</li>
<li>`rssi` - RSSI of the beacon</li>
<li>`distance` - Estimated distance to the beacon</li>
</ul>
<p>or a <b>UID</b> type:</p>
<ul>
<li>`type` - Eddystone type</li>
<li>`txPower` - Received power at 0m in dBm</li>
<li>`namespace` - 10-byte ID of namspace</li>
<li>`instance` - 6-byte ID insance</li>
<li>`rssi` - RSSI of the beacon</li>
<li>`distance` - Estimated distance to the beacon</li>
<li>`tlm` - TLM data, if the device is interleaving broadcasts</li>
</ul>
<p>Where the `tlm` data will be an object containing:</p>
<ul>
<li>`version` - TML version</li>
<li>`vbatt` - Battery Voltage</li>
<li>`temp` - Temperature</li>
<li>`advCnt` - Advertising PDU count</li>
<li>`secCnt` - Time since power on or reboot</li>

<p>Node to read from the Ti SensorTag</p>
<p>For this node to work correctly on Linux, Node-Red needs to be run as
<i>root</i>, this due to how Bluetooth 4.0 support is currently implemented
in Linux.</p>
<p>The UUID field is the bluetooth mac address of the sensor tag, this is optional
and can be used to bind to a specific SensorTag if you have more than one
active in range at the same time. <b>Note</b>:you can only have one SensorTag
per node-red instance at the moment.</p>
<p>The topic setting is a prefix that will be pre-pended to the name of the
per Node-RED instance at the moment.</p>
<p>The <i>topic</i> setting is a prefix that will be pre-pended to the name of the
sensor that creates the reading. e.g. <i>sensorTag/temperature</i>. If
blank it will be set to the UUID of the sensor tag.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Only 1 sensorTag can be read from at a time,
