beacon and button

Hi,

Since developing a more-or-less-telecom system that incorporates ble beacons and yet not being much a sw developer, I've been wondering about if it is achievable with any fitbit device to have it transmit sensors' data constantly in beacon mode and add info about button press event.

Thanks in advance.

If you're specifically talking about BLE, then we don't currently expose any APIs for this.

 

If you're just looking to transmit sensor data, you can do this with the Messaging API and combo buttons.
