IoT Projects with Bluetooth Low Energy

By: Madhur Bhargava

Overview of this book

Bluetooth Low Energy, or Bluetooth Smart, is Wireless Personal Area networking aimed at smart devices and IoT applications. BLE has been increasingly adopted by application developers and IoT enthusiasts to establish connections between smart devices. This book initially covers all the required aspects of BLE, before you start working on IoT projects. In the initial stages of the book, you will learn about the basic aspects of Bluetooth Low Energy—such as discovering devices, services, and characteristics—that will be helpful for advanced-level projects. This book will guide you through building hands-on projects using BLE and IoT. These projects include tracking health data, using a mobile App, and making this data available for health practitioners; Indoor navigation; creating beacons using the Raspberry Pi; and warehouse weather Monitoring. This book also covers aspects of Bluetooth 5 (the latest release) and its effect on each of these projects. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience of using Bluetooth Low Energy to integrate with smart devices and IoT projects.

Practical Applications


Apart from warehouse climate monitoring, we shall discuss other real-life use cases of temperature and humidity Bluetooth Low Energy data loggers to give you a better understanding of the domains, where similar solutions to the one we discussed earlier can be applied with minimal changes.

Idemitsu Museum of Arts

Idemitsu Museum of Arts in Tokyo uses Bluetooth Low Energy temperature and Humidity Data loggers to manage the indoor climate in the museum from preserving antique pieces of art, in a similar fashion as depicted in the following figure:

This museum stores Japanese artefacts such as Japanese paintings, calligraphy, and pottery for public exhibitions.

These artefacts, specifically paintings, are rare antiques, drawn in the 16th Century in Japan. Preservation...
