Question

How to Stop Detecting estimote iBeacons with same Major and Minor?
Explaination:
1.Configured two iBeacons with same UUID,Major,Minor
2.In Did Range i am Getting Two Beacon Detection
3 But i need only one in detection (if they are with same UUID_Major_Minor)
4.Is there any way to avoid the same beacon Detections
thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Major and Minor values are numbers assigned to your iBeacons, in order to identify them with greater accuracy than using UUID alone.
Minor and Major are unsigned integer values.
The iBeacon standard requires both a Major and Minor value to be assigned.
Major values are intended to identify and distinguish a group – for example all beacons in on a certain floor or room in your venue could be assigned a unique major value.
Minor values are intended to identify and distinguish an individual – for example distinguishing individual beacons within a group of beacons assigned a major value.
You do not have assign same Major and Minor values for your iBeacons. Technically you do not have to assign these values at all (although they are all required as part of the Apple's iBeacon standard) – however they are very useful for identifying, organizing, and tracking iBeacons down to a finer level. If you want your iBeacons to deliver unique content, then they need to have a unique ID to distinguish them.

if (foundBeacon.proximity != self.previousProximity) {
//check if last foundBeacon.proximity is equal or not
