You can make the gimbal beacons discoverable as if it was an iBeacon. @james frost had the answer in his comment. Check out this post https://stackoverflow.com/a/22666967/1496517 I just did it and it works like a charm.

I wasn't able to see them with the estimote demo app but I was with the radius networks demo app. (probably because I didn't set the appropriate uuid)

Doing it this way will also let you get around the issue that gimbal has not released proximity on android, but you can use the radius network demo if you needed to.

You can also still seem them as a gimbal beacon as well as an iBeacon with the gimbal management app.
