Here is a quick video demonstrating a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Mobile Hotspot and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ enabled OEM device in action!
Didn't exactly go exactly how we imagined :) But really shows the untapped potential of Bluetooth Low Energy!
In the foreground, you'll see the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Enabled device.
I have a mobile phone in my pocket that has been enabled with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Hotspot app.
As I get nearer the device, you'll see the device can use the Hotspot to make a request via the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Network to the (in this case simply a webhook viewer, but normally your server/lambda/api gateway).
This OEM device includes the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Modem firmware, using it to report motion, orientation, temperature and humidity events from the device to the web service using a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Network.
The request/response payloads with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ can actually be anything (each message can be up to ~4kb binary data).
The OEM Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ enabled sensor in the video is available if you want to test our Cloud Native Bluetooth infrastructure yourself. If you are considering building your own, there is also a Modem breakout board:
Merry Xmas Bluetooth Fans!
