You probably will need to set some filtering since the advertisement
may not be 'visible', you can try with:

bluetoothctl> scan.transport le
bluetoothctl> scan on

If that causes way too many notifications try setting some other
filters like UUID/pattern if there is such information about it.

Is there any specification available for such beacons?
