Manage your Estimote fleet in Claude Desktop

Inventory your hardware by running `list_beacon_devices` to see current firmware versions and battery status. You can identify specific units by MAC address to ensure every device is accounted for in your deployment. Group your hardware using `list_fleet_tags` and `assign_tag_to_beacon` to organize assets by floor or zone. This keeps your oversight logical and prevents configuration errors when managing hundreds of units.

Monitor environmental data with Claude Desktop

Pull live sensor readings using `get_beacon_telemetry` to check temperature or motion status across your sites. It's the fastest way to confirm your sensors are active without walking the floor. Use `get_device_analytics` to visualize dwell times and visitor counts directly in your chat interface. You get raw data points that help you decide where to shift your coverage.

Automate Estimote configuration in Claude Desktop

Adjust broadcasting power and intervals using `update_beacon_settings` to balance battery life against signal range. Changes queue in the cloud and sync when a device hits the SDK. Register new sites with `create_physical_location` so you can map beacons to specific coordinates. This keeps your analytics grouped by venue rather than just a flat list of hardware IDs.
