Configuring Beacon templates

The Beacon templates are used to provision and configure new beacons at deployment time. Once the beacon is provisioned the template changes will not effect the beacon configuration. After the beacon has been provisioned and connected to a BluFi all beacon configuration updates will come from the

 cloud.

By default the
