Hello,
The Eddystone firmware has less frequent advertising interval ( 1 Hz ) than Weather Station ( 2 Hz ). It might be that your phone takes longer to detect the Eddystone Beacon URL.
Could you please check the Eddystone settings by entering the configuration mode (press B, red led comes on) and connecting with configuration tool? Personally I use “nRF Beacon for Eddystone” app or web-based configuration tool.
Default password is (0x)FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (32 * F) or (0x)00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF, newer version of Eddystone app has the 0011…EEFF password. The eddystone settings do not change on SW update, so if you have used earlier versions of Eddystone app the original FF…FF password will remain. Please not that web-based tool expects the “0x” in front of password while nRF app does not.
Eddystone URL should be “ruu.vi/setup” by default and Adv. Interval should be 1000 ms. You can try reducing the Adv. Interval to 300 - 500 ms. Please let us know if default settings are different and if reducing the advertising interval helps to see the notifications. Our Eddystone app somewhat experimental, so we highly value reporting any issues or rough edges you might find.
Please also note that the Eddystone app is not yet properly power optimized, we expect a battery life of one month or so on default settings. A software update which will increase battery life to > 1 year is expected to be ready by the end of January.
