Done. I wasn't sure where to put it, to convey the fact that BETA referes only to

The iBeacon is capable of being detected by the iBeacon integration if its Minor field is set to the (default) value 40004

All the rest was valid before.

Looks good to me, can be merged when parent is merged

@chatziko Is this PR still relevant? Looking at the core PR it seems that the approach is now to create a generic allowlist where the user could enter the app details, in which case this documentation change is incorrect and probably unnecessary.

Indeed using a hardcoded allowlisted minor value was the initial approach (old PR), it was later replaced with a manual UUID allowlist (new PR). So this documentation change is no longer relevant. It should maybe be replaced by a sentence inviting users to allowlist their UUID.

@chatziko would you be able to update this PR to reflect the upcoming changes?

Done. Note that I removed the beta flag, since from what I understand it refers to the companion beta, but now the change is purely on the HA side.
