This sensor will update anytime the state of bluetooth changes. ![Android](/assets/android.svg) -A BLE Transmitter sensor allows your device to transmit a BLE iBeacon. The iBeacon is capable of being detected by the [iBeacon integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ibeacon) if your device sends the device name ([see why here](https://github.com/home-assistant/android/pull/2941#issuecomment-1272379540)). This sensor can also be useful in conjunction with projects like [roomassistant](https://www.room-assistant.io/) and [esp32-mqtt-room ](https://jptrsn.github.io/ESP32-mqtt-room/) to allow room level tracking. The current transmitting ID (UUID-Major-Minor) is reported as an attribute that can be copied for use with these systems. +A BLE Transmitter sensor allows your device to transmit a BLE iBeacon.

If your device does not send its device name, it can still be detected if you explicitly allow the UUID via the iBeacon integration options.

The iBeacon is transmitted every second (low latency to save battery, but sufficient for room presence).
