Bluetooth clients, rawdata meaning

[smruseroask]

Hello,

I have a question.

I got scanning API enabled and i get data about every beacon my AP detects.

In data there is one information for each beacon. "rawdata".

for example:  "rawData":"02011a17ff4c000512000000000000000001d4312c866653ed1900" 

what does that mean and how can I use it?

The documentation is not clear about it.

Location API is topic I am asking about but there is no information about 'rawdata'

There is most useful information but even here is not anything about rawdata

I'd assumed raw data is specific to the device type/manufacturer.

You can probably follow the BT spec. to decode the initial structure, but the rest may be proprietary to the manufacturer of the device, or to a particular application.

I found an example here showing data being decoded...
