I have a projector that supports Beacon (NEC NP-P502WL) So how do I control it and get feedback? I have googled and amxforums beacon and don't see really anything.
Thanks

For you project you'll need to either contact an AMX dealer who does RPM setup or has a programmer on staff who can help you. Or you could hire someone like myself who is an independent programmer. If you already own some AMX gear like a controller you can just speak with the dealer who sold you the gear. They should provide you with programming services.
I don't know if it's still "a thing" or not to be honest. I never found it to be desirable in that quite often I'm in an environment where there might be a ton of the same thing out there banging away on a bunch of masters who are all trying to figure out if they need the thing or not. It was a damn nuisance. When I was programming at the University of Nebraska, we were messing with the concept before AMX came out with it. We tried things like putting RFID beacons on all our gear and putting an RFID reader in the rooms. This actually worked quite well, but was way more costly than the benefits of having it.
Despite the marketing department's unholy desire to be rid of us programmers and free the world of our tyranny, we still seem to need to be here. Until they can create a machine that feels pain and discomfort when it fails there will always need to be a human in the chain of events to solve problems.
And yet... here you are.
