Is it possible to write a linux application that can update the Namespace and Instance IDs on a Kontakt BeaconPro configured to broadcast Eddystone-UID Packets? I have used Gattlib to scan for Eddystone Devices and discover their services, but it doesn't seem like the Configuration Service is present (service UUID a3c87500-8ed3-4bdf-8a39-a01bebede295) per https://github.com/google/eddystone/tree/master/configuration-service.

You can configure these values in the Kontakt Android app, but my guess is they are using a custom service for configuration? Does anyone have any experience here?

If I read this blog post correctly, then Kontakt beacons with firmware version 4.0+ are no longer configurable via a GATT service. Configuration instead requires the Kontakt SDK for iOS or Android which does not use a GATT service.

The beacons do not support the Eddystone Configuration GATT Service unless you request custom firmware.
