You won't see iBeacons in the standard lescan output. We have to process raw packets coming out of hcidump --raw

If you run monitor from the command line with the beacon flag -b, do you see any of the beacons?

(This, I think, is a different beacon from my first post.)

So, is it possible to scan for both normal bluetooth devices and simultaneously for beacons? Or is it either/or?

EDIT - oh yes, it is. So all I need to do is add the -b flag. Thanks!
