Using Web Bluetooth to Communicate with Bluetooth Devices #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
via hackster.io
Adding Bluetooth to your IoT project usually means developing native applications to interact with your devices. However, the new Web Bluetooth API specification allows web browsers to communicate directly with Bluetooth Low Energy devices. While the specification is not finalized yet, we can already experiment with it using Chrome on macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android.
In this article, we will demonstrate how to use bleno – a Node.js library, to implement Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripherals on a balenaOS-powered device and use a web app to communicate with it from a browser.
