Am using ibeacon which has temperature , humidity and accelerometer sensor. when i use "nRF connect " app i can see two scenario .  
1st scenario : in the service data i can see the Mac , major , minor ,power , broadcast interval , battery .

2nd scenario : in the service data i can see the sensor data ( ibeacon word flashes beside the name )

but when i try to see these data using “BLE Viewer BLE data viewer for AB BLE Gateway V4” . i only get mac , parse address , uuid , major , minor , rssi . but i need the sensor data .

Please change the `Advertising Filter` from `iBeacon Only` to `Allow all advertising data`. Because the sensor data from the BLE device is not iBeacon protocol

How many beacons do you monitor in same time? Please try the mac address filter

![mac address filter](https://bbs.aprbrother.com/uploads/default/original/1X/777b83a1700a1a991ea0253295bfc8459e5f7d9e.png)

You can fill mac `C42BC1580D27` for your beacon. `00` is wildcard bit for the filter.

e.g.

`C42B00000000` will match all mac addresses which start with `C42B`

You can input multiple mac addresses. One line for one beacon. e.g.

```auto
C42B00000000
C42B00000012
C42B00000034

```

thank you for all the help . just one last question .  
What to do if I have 100 beacons , as its quite hard to set mac address for 100 beacons . Is there any alternative to it ? Like can I set Manufacturer ID to filter the beacons ? As all beacons which I am using are from same company .

Yes. You can use Manufacturer ID filter if you choose “Allow all advertising data”. see the screenshot.
