The system automatically removes iBeacon devices with unstable Major and Minor values once ten (10) or more Major and Minor values have been seen with the same UUID from an iBeacon device with a fixed MAC address. +## Considering an iBeacon Away + +Due to various factors such as individual system settings and iBeacon firmware, iBeacons will not be marked as "Away" immediately. This could take several minutes. + ## Fixed MAC addresses iBeacons with a fixed MAC address will get their own set of entities for each UUID, major, minor, and MAC address combination, enabling distance and presence detection per physical device basis. In this type of setup, it is permissible to have multiple iBeacons broadcasting the same UUID, Major, and Minor combination as long as you do not exceed five devices.
