How to add Beacons?

Most of the time you will find your beacons automatically added to your database after purchase and installation. If you mistakenly deleted your beacon, you can manually add it back. You will need to have this deleted beacon, the nRF Connect app, or another for scanning Bluetooth devices, and a place without any beacons around you.
