/find_nearby_devices

This endpoint retrieves device information and returns a summary of advertisings for each device.

Advertising summary includes average rssi, number of advertisings and the last advertising time.

Request:

{
  "advertising_packets": [
    {
      "rssi": 0,
      "msd": "string",
      "time": "2021-09-21T16:57:04.601Z"
    }
  ]
}

rssi: stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. This is an integer value that is less than 0 that represents signal strength of the received advertising packet.

msd: a hexadecimal string which stands for Manufacturer Specific Data. To filter out all not-Nwave advertising packets, check that first 2 bytes of msd are in range 0x5710 - 0x571F.

msd = 5710B6027178DF1F534F6F3C3C047DAB43F9B91326C9585BED13

time: iso8601 timestamp of advertising packet reception.
