They have a much broader range of potential use, however, and part of that is consumer-focused, too. Placed is a new app that shows you how iBeacons might benefit anyone at home, by tying iBeacons to specific apps and offering quick-launch capabilities."

"Placed for iPhone provides the fastest way to launch an app tied to a spot at your home - A timer when you're next to the coffee maker, a remote when you sit down on your sofa or a to do app at your desk. As soon as you are nearby a placed iBeacon and you turn on your lock screen, the app of your choice will appear as notification - Launch it with a simple swipe. Convenient and efficient."
