iBeacon Tasker Plugin scans nearby Bluetooth LE iBeacon advertisements and returns matching beacon details to a Tasker or Locale-compatible automation task.
The scan can match any iBeacon, or filter by UUID, major value, minor value, and minimum RSSI. Results are returned as local variables including UUID, major, minor, RSSI, advertised TX power, estimated distance, Bluetooth address, and timestamp.
The app includes a simple launcher screen for granting permissions and testing scans without Tasker. Tasker scans run on demand; an optional compatibility monitor can be started for devices where background scans are unreliable. The monitor requests notification permission so Android 13 and newer can show the silent foreground-service notification. The app requests background location because Android treats Bluetooth LE scan results as location-capable, and Tasker-triggered scans may run after the app is no longer visible.
The source repository includes code, license, releases, and issue tracking.
Tasker or another Locale-compatible host is required for automation integration. The app has no ads, analytics, trackers, in-app purchases, or paid features. It does not request Internet access and does not send scan results off the device.
