Sorry, I meant to right technical details [about the implementation]. Somehow I typed the wrong word.

I know that Bluetooth beacons are a thing, but presumably leaving your phone out of discovery mode and not having any active Bluetooth pairings mitigates that, right?

No worries, I do that all the time myself.

As far as the bluetooth side it, I don't have personal experience with them other knowing that they were added to systems I've worked on after the fact.

So your statement sounds logically, I just can't confirm it.
