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.

What is Bluetooth Low Energy?

The internet of things will augment your brain.
– Eric Schmidt

At a very basic level IoT can be described as a network of things (physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and what not), which when augmented with sensors and servers enables these objects or things to collect and exchange data. A major driver behind this growth has been the advent of a comparatively lesser-known technology known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

In this chapter, we discuss this technology in the light of the following topics:

  • An Overview of Bluetooth Low Energy
  • The Need for Bluetooth Low Energy
  • Bluetooth Low Energy versus Bluetooth Classic
  • Architecture of Bluetooth Low Energy
  • Profiles
  • Services
  • Characteristics
  • Indications
  • Notifications
  • Bluetooth 5, Meshes, and Beacons
