It sits at the intersection of BLE scanning and iBeacon protocol interpretation, relying on aiooui for OUI lookups, home-assistant-bluetooth for Bluetooth device abstraction, and mac-vendor-lookup for vendor identification. The package is in pre-alpha development but maintains active repository status.\n\nThe library is intended for developers building Bluetooth proximity applications, location-based services, or Home Assistant integrations that need to extract and interpret iBeacon advertisement data. It handles the low-level parsing of BLE packets to surface iBeacon-specific fields, making it useful in scenarios where raw Bluetooth scanning output needs semantic interpretation.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained and has low install friction, making it suitable for iBeacon parsing tasks. However, it remains in pre-alpha status and has not shipped a release in over two years, so expect API instability and incomplete documentation. Install if you need iBeacon parsing and can tolerate pre-release maturity; avoid if you require production-grade stability."},"id":"ibeacon-ble","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ibeacon-ble","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ibeacon-ble.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ibeacon-ble/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ibeacon-ble","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parser for iBeacon devices"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75014,"position":14756,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
