In the “My blukiis” section, click on the blukii for which you want to change the settings.
Make the desired changes and apply them by clicking the “Save” button
Place your smartphone near the appropriate beacon and start the blukii Configurator app
Select the corresponding blukii to get to the “Device Info” view. The orange cloud in the General section indicates that there are changed settings.
Now tap on the blue edit button at the bottom right and wait until the connection to the beacon has been established.
The Update area now appears in orange. Tap the “Update Device” button here to transfer the parameters changed in the blukii Manager to the beacon.
If you now exit the configuration view, a dark blue cloud shows that the data has been successfully synchronized and is up to date.
