Android Question Playing around with Beacons

[pierrem]

Hi,

I want to play around with Beacons.
I read a lot of post about BLE & BLEextended libs, really interresting but ...

I can't figure out which beacon model to choose, and they are so many offers on the Net.

Could you please post your return of experience, with pro and con, so it could be helpfull ?

To start, I prefer a 'simple' model, including battery & antenna, I don't plan to buy one with sensor or any IO capabilities.

Best if your advices are good for both B4A & B4i

Thks in advance

[update]
which would prefer to use (follow link) with B4A & B4i ?

Must support eddystone url. Some of those only broadcast and id aren't good for marketing only to find devices. I use ibeacon i5. Good but not support url broadcast.
