I bought some beacons and cant change the broadcasted website to http://cpsellshomes.com. I thought that maybe since it wasn't secure it may be the problem. So I also tried https://homesforsale.century21.com/CENTURY-21-Curran-&-Christie-2848c/Christopher-Powers-211340a?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=internal&utm_campaign=agent&utm_term=a211340&referredByAgent=a211340 and it still didn't work. Just to make sure that it wasn't the length of the URL I went to https://goo.gl and shortened it to https://goo.gl/qboHbC and still wont broadcast. How do you get a URL to be found by the Physical Web? Am I missing something simple? Is there something I need to tell GoDaddy to do? Please point me in the right direction because I'm at a stand still w my Beacons due to this. I have so many thing on the back end already complete to launch but this one step ceases everything

I think so.

I tried. iit still didn't work.

I tried another URL
https://www.century21.com/
https://espanol.century21.com/

I got these Physical Web.

I don't know why, but  https://homesforsale.century21.com (https://goo.gl/qboHbC )can not get.
I recommend that You use another domain.

I would suggest the physical web URL validator.

The URL must be secure, even the shortened URL needs to point to a secure page.

Hi Helen

I have tried the URL validator and entered Google's site. It still shows as Fail. Is there any site that passes for me to test on Eddystone URL beacon. I have installed PyBeacon on Raspberry Pi but no notifications gets received after advertising. Tried Beacon Tools but can't connect to it.

Any help would be appreciated.
