Oh! Bonus: the Bluetooth performance has been improved too! Especially local
Bluetooth adapters should be quite a bit faster. 🚀
## Support for iBeacons
This release also adds support for iBeacons. These are Bluetooth-enabled devices
that send out identifiers to announce their location. Home Assistant can
now pick those up and show an approximate distance to such an iBeacon.
iBeacons can open up a lot of awesome use cases for automations. For example,
you could attach an iBeacon to your car, so you'll know the car is at home. Or,
on the trashcan and use it to determine if the garbage is still sitting in the
garage on pick-up day and send out a notification.
[Read more about iBeacons in our documentation](/integrations/ibeacon).
