YPB03 LINE Beacon

Product Overview

#

The YPB03 is an industrial-grade, long-range Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE 5.0) beacon specifically optimized to function as a LINE Beacon broadcasting standard LINE Simple Beacon packets. Powered by 4 × AA batteries providing a massive 5800mAh capacity.

With a high-gain antenna delivering a transmission range of up to 240 meters, the YPB03 is the ideal choice for large-scale commercial proximity marketing, smart retail navigation, and indoor location services. It eliminates the need for users to install custom mobile apps—interaction is triggered directly within the ubiquitous LINE messaging application, offering a frictionless user experience.

How Proximity Triggers Work

#

When a user with Bluetooth and “LINE Beacon” settings enabled in their LINE app enters the YPB03’s broadcasting range:

1. The LINE app detects the Service UUID 0xFE6F and reads the Hardware ID (HWID) from the advertising payload.
2. The LINE platform intercepts this signal and triggers a beacon event via a POST request to your LINE Bot webhook server.
3. Your bot handler responds to the event (e.g. sending a flex message, rich menu, or promotional coupon) in real time.

    Beacon->>User: BLE Broadcast (UUID: FE6F + HWID)
    User->>LINE: Forward HWID + User ID
    LINE->>Bot: Webhook POST (beacon event: enter/stay/banner)
    Bot->>User: Reply/Push Messaging API response (e.g., Coupon)

Step 1: Register your Hardware ID (HWID)

#

1. Log in to the LINE Developers Console or LINE Official Account Manager.
2. Navigate to the Beacon section and register a new beacon device to generate a unique 5-byte (10 hex characters) Hardware ID (HWID).

Step 2: Configure YPB03 via BeaconSET+

#

The parameters of YPB03 are configured wirelessly over-the-air:

1. Download BeaconSET+ from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
2. Open the app, scan for the YPB03’s MAC address, and connect (inputting the default management password).
3. Select an active advertising slot and set the type to Service Data with:
   • Service UUID: FE6F
   • Data Value: FE6F + [Your 5-byte HWID] + 7F00 (e.g., if your HWID is 0123456789, configure the data payload as FE6F01234567897F00).
4. Save and disconnect. The YPB03 will begin broadcasting the LINE Simple Beacon frame.

Step 3: Handle the Webhook Beacon Event

#

In your webhook server, parse the incoming JSON payload. The event object will look like this:

{
  "destination": "xxxxxxxxxx",
  "events": [
    {
      "type": "beacon",
      "replyToken": "nHuyWiB7yP5Zw52FIkcQobQuGDXCTA",
      "source": {
        "userId": "U1234567890abcdef...",
        "type": "user"
      },
      "timestamp": 1462629479859,
      "mode": "active",
      "webhookEventId": "01FZ7MRDRSG04EE8X1A84W1NG8",
      "deliveryContext": {
        "isRedelivery": false
      },
      "beacon": {
        "hwid": "0123456789",
        "type": "enter"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Event Properties:

#

• hwid: The registered 5-byte Hardware ID of the YPB03 beacon.
• type: The trigger action:
  • enter: The user entered the beacon’s signal range.
  • stay: The user is remaining in range (sent every 10 seconds).
  • banner: The user tapped the proximity banner inside the LINE chat screen.

Installation Methods

#

Method A: Industrial Adhesive Tape

#

• Best Surface: Smooth surfaces like glass, acrylic, clean aluminum, or polished tile.
• Process: Clean the surface. Apply the double-sided tape, apply pressure for 2 seconds, and let it rest for 30 minutes before mounting the beacon.

Method B: Screw Bracket Mount (Recommended)

#

• Best Surface: Concrete, drywall, wood, or brick.
• Process:
  1. Secure the bracket onto the wall using the expansion plugs and screws.
  2. Slide the YPB03 into the bracket slots until it locks.
