## Description

**Radar Lite** is a free and lightweight Chrome extension designed for effective Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon tracking. It supports various beacon types including iBeacon, Eddystone, AltBeacon, RuuviTag, and more, allowing users to monitor smart bands, proximity sensors, and embedded beacon devices.

With Radar Lite, you can track important items such as baggage at airports by placing a beacon inside your bag or locate lost pets and beacons. The extension estimates the distance to beacons and monitors sensor data like temperature, humidity, or battery level depending on the beacon's capabilities. Background scanning with customizable notifications enables timely alerts when a beacon enters or leaves range.

Radar Lite's minimal battery consumption and ease of use make it ideal for Bluetooth tracking enthusiasts seeking a free tool. For users needing advanced features, an upgrade path to Radar Pro is available. Comprehensive user guidance is provided via the online user manual for seamless setup and operation.
