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.

Summary


If you arrive here after completing all the code samples, then give yourself a solid pat on the back, since we covered a really wide ground in this chapter by implementing a detailed and commercially viable IoT solution built over Bluetooth Low Energy. This chapter was significantly a notch up from the others considering the complexity involved and we do hope that after completing it you already feel promoted to the next level with all the knowledge we gained in this chapter.

We are very curious to know that what you will build next with all this new knowledge at hand. Feel free to drop us a line in case you come up with a cool solution revolving around BLE, Sensors, and IoT.

With this, we now move on to the next chapter, which attempts to explore the future of Bluetooth Low Energy and eventually IoT.
