    responsive to determining that the BLE beacon is in a configuration-changes-enabled state, sending a notification from the BLE beacon to the BLE device that the BLE beacon is in the configuration-changes-enabled state;

    receiving, by the BLE beacon from the BLE device, a request for a change in a configuration of the BLE beacon in response to receipt of the notification;

    responsive to receiving the request, changing the configuration based on the request; and
