About this item

  • Our most advanced extra long range, water-resistant (IP67) beacon with adjustable sensitivity movement sensor accelerometer. Transmit range: 0.2-100 meters using iBeacon legacy, 300 meters with PHY-coded scanner, and 900 meters with long range PHY-coded scanner. Extra wide range of TX broadcast power settings from super low -40 to extra powerful +8dBm. Warning: Do not set to Phy coded unless you have a Phy-coded scanner. Use Legacy broadcast only with a smartphone.
  • 4 year battery life (CR2477 included). The battery is easily replaceable after 4 years. Real time battery level can be monitored using our KBeaconPro app or retrieved programmatically using a scan request method or broadcast as part of a TLM broadcast. "Pro" version firmware opens up many different options for configuring.
  • Using its built-in movement sensor, this beacon can be configured to broadcast only after sensing movement. It can also be configured to broadcast normally but then to broadcast a slightly modified iBeacon UUID or different protocol after sensing movement.
  • Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data. The BC04P has five different "slots" for broadcasting (slots are numbered 0 through 4). Most users will only use one slot, but if you wanted to, you could technically broadcast up to 5 different UUID numbers all with different configurations
  • Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions with multiple screenshots under the Quick Start Guide menu.
  • This beacon is compatible with all bluetooth-capable smartphones as well as with our BLE beacon scanning gateway (Item BCG04). Works great with Home Assistant too. See our website for some sample projects using beacons with HA. (Under the "Usage Examples" menu at the top)
  • (This is NOT an Eddystone URL beacon for broadcasting your website or ad message to nearby phones. That service has been SHUTDOWN WORLDWIDE by Google as of Dec 6, 2018.)



Product Description

Our most advanced extra long range, water-resistant (IP67) beacon with adjustable movement sensor accelerometer.

  • This beacon can achieve ranges of up to 150 meters using its standard iBeacon broadcast.
  • 4 year battery life (CR2477 included). The battery is easily replaceable after 4 years.
  • Real time battery level can be monitored using our free apps or retrieved programmatically using a scan request method or broadcast as part of a TLM broadcast.
  • Using its built-in movement sensor, this beacon can be configured to broadcast only after sensing movement. It can also be configured to broadcast normally but then to broadcast a slightly modified iBeacon UUID or different protocol after sensing movement.
  • Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format.
  • Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data.
  • The BC04P has five different "slots" for broadcasting (slots are numbered 0 through 4). Most users will only use one slot, but if you wanted to, you could technically broadcast up to 5 different UUID numbers all with different configurations.
  • Free configuration apps for iPhone & Android allow you to adjust settings according to your needs.
  • This beacon uses our "Pro" version firmware (and Pro configuration app) which offers a wealth of different configuration options. Keep in mind that it can be a bit confusing at first.
  • Transmit range: 0.2-150 meters using iBeacon legacy, 300 meters with PHY-coded scanner, and 900 meters with long range PHY-coded scanner.
  • Wide range of TX broadcast power settings from super low -40 to extra powerful +8dBm
  • This beacon is also capable of broadcasting a PHY-coded broadcast and can then achieve ranges of 300 meters with a PHY scanner or 900 meters with a long-range PHY scanner. At this time, there are no smartphones capable of PHY-coded scanning, but there are BLE gateways that can do so.
  • Our website has very detailed step-by-step instructions w/ multiple screenshots under Quick Start Guide menu.
  • Note: Do not set the beacon to Phy-coded broadcast unless you have a Phy-coded compatible scanner. Read the Quick Start Guide to learn how to recover from this if you happen to make this error.

Our website has very detailed step by step instructions and screenshots under the Quick Start Guide menu.

Added this unit for my Home Assistant configuration allowing automatic garage door opening whenever my vehicle is close by. And of course, to close the garage automatically if the vehicle has left the garage for some amount of time. The installation is easy (double sided tape) to a hidden area on the outside of the vehicle. The remaining work was writing the logic to handle the device and open/close the garage. It works perfectly. Aside from an automotive realm, this device can be used for a lot of other things and I will be buying more in the future.

I’ve been using the Blue Charm Beacons (BC04P-MultiBeacon) for a few days now, and I am very impressed with their performance! The long-range PHY capability (up to 300 meters) is outstanding, providing a stable and reliable connection even at longer distances. Whether I’m setting up a BLE network for a large venue or working on a smaller-scale project, these beacons consistently deliver strong signals without any dropouts.The water-resistant feature is a huge bonus, ensuring that they can be used in outdoor or challenging environments without worry. I’ve tested them in a variety of conditions, and they’ve held up great so far. The adjustable movement sensor is another feature I really appreciate—it allows for fine-tuning based on my specific needs, making them very versatile for different applications.Overall, I highly recommend the Blue Charm Beacons for anyone needing reliable, long-range BLE beacons. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, they offer excellent performance, great range, and durable construction. Definitely a top-tier product!

Using 2 of these for trash/recycle can locations. They simply interfere with each other. Separate UUIDs, separate Majors, separate Minors. 1 or the other is always either unavailable or totally erratic with its signal transmission. Tried many things to get these to play together nicely including parameter adjustments and even tried different bluetooth adapters. Both work great separately. They are only 10ft from the bluetooth adapter. Reached out to the company a few times. Although very through and responsive, the response is typically that their beacons are superior, and they have no issues. I am a software programmer, so I would love to fix this issue via variable/parameter adjustment, but just not convinced that is possible anymore.

I was able to get the system up and running in a matter of minutes.Accuracy and Range: This beacon offers an outstanding tracking range and pinpoint accuracy. Now, I always know where my cat is, whether it's hiding in the basement or lounging in the sunroom.Water-Resistant Design: The water-resistant feature adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring the beacon's longevity.

Using this for pet collars with espresense, its companion and home assistant. Now I can watch my dogs run around the house, or find them in the back yard!
