Testing Accounts

Using a Physical Device

If you are building against the Beam Service, you may request a physical sample be sent to you for testing. Please note, it will take several days to receive the sample unit. To get started quickly, see the Using the Simulator section below. If you would still like a sample unit, please email [e-mail] with your name, the company you represent, and full address.

Using the Simulator

The Beam Account Simulator can be used in place of a real Beam Controller and is functionally indistinguishable from the perspective of the Beam Service. You can request an unlimited number of testing accounts for your organization by emailing [e-mail]. These test accounts allow you to use the iOS/Android mobile apps, as well as the web dashboard.

Since it is a full-fledged account, you can also use it to test Beam's other 3rd-party integrations, such as IFTTT and Amazon Alexa.
