You need to have 2 stored ibeacon payloads (state index 0 and 1) in order for this to work. This can be done by the set_ibeacon methods
available in this class.
Once the interval starts, it will set this ibeacon ID to be active. In order to have 2 ibeacon payloads interleaving, you have to call this method twice.
To interleave every minute
First, periodically_activate_ibeacon_index, index 0, interval = 120 (2 minutes), offset = 0
Secondly, periodically_activate_ibeacon_index, index 1, interval = 120 (2 minutes), offset = 60
This will change the active ibeacon payload every minute:
T = 0.............60.............120.............180.............240
activeId = 0.............1...............0...............1...............0
