VERY GOOD User Rating

LightBlue® facilitates the connection between your devices utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth Light). It offers the capability to scan, connect to, and browse any nearby BLE device.

The application provides comprehensive support for read, write, and notify functions to streamline BLE firmware development processes. Additionally, it offers real-time display of signal strength (RSSI) to gauge proximity to the BLE device, assisting in locating misplaced Fitbits or other BLE devices.

Moreover, LightBlue® features a logging function to monitor all significant BLE events during app usage, including device discovery, connection, reading, and writing tasks.

LightBlue® proves valuable in testing various devices such as BLE Heart Rate Monitors, temperature sensors, TI CC2540 Keyfobs, Nordic uBlue, Panasonic PAN1720, and more. It serves as an excellent tool for developers interested in testing their BLE peripheral firmware.

Key Features:

  • Scan for any BLE peripherals
  • View basic device information (name, MAC address, RSSI) conveniently
  • Browse characteristics and services
  • Enable notifications
  • Read characteristics
  • Write to characteristics using hex or UTF-8 string format
  • Detailed logging of BLE events with the ability to share in plain text format

A brief note regarding location access: For Android devices running Android M (6.0) and above, granting the app fine location access is necessary to allow the OS to present BLE scan results to the app. This requirement is imposed by the Android SDK; rest assured, we do not utilize your location data for any purpose, even when the app is active.
