Is there an off-the-shelf beacon I can just buy that also has support for triggering Vibration / Haptic Motor over BLE? Amazon / whatever links are welcome.

Context: I'd like to trigger vibration from iOS in a small independent device. BLE seems ideal as I need to support more than one and all devices should be within range. I'm trying to rapidly prototype something instead of cranking out my own HW.

For prototyping you may be able to use a few sub-$20 Xiaomi Mi Band devices (or Band 2 which should be under $30 and has a screen). And then use API like this to trigger vibration: https://github.com/betomaluje/Mi-Band

They both can be removed from the wristband and look like a 2 cm long pill, and last weeks on a charge with normal use, maybe months when not counting steps.
