IoT Projects with Bluetooth Low Energy

Designing Practical BLE Applications About This Book * Build hands on IoT projects using Bluetooth Low Energy and learn about Bluetooth 5 and its features *Build health tracking system, indoor navigation and weather station projects using smart devices *Build on theoretical foundation and create practical understanding of Bluetooth Low Energy. Who This Book Is For If you're an application developer, hardware enthusiast, or just anyone curious about Internet of Things and converting them into hands on projects, then this book is for you. Basic idea about Bluetooth low energy and its architecture would be an added advantage What You Will Learn * Set up various development platforms (Android, iOS, Firebase, Raspberry Pi, Beacons, Github) *Create Explorer App(Android/iOS) to diagnose a Fitbit Device *Design a Beacon with Raspberry Pi and write an App to detect the beacon *Write a Mobile App to periodically poll the BLE tracking sensor *Compose an app to read Data Periodically from Temperature And Humidity Sensors *Explore more applications of BLE + IOT In Detail Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart, is a Wireless Personal Area networking aimed at smart devices and IoT applications. BLE has been increasingly adopted by application developers and IoT enthusiasts for establishing connections between smart devices. This book will initially cover all the aspects of BLE which is required, before you start working on IoT projects. In the initial stages of the book you will learn about minute aspects such as discovering devices, services and characteristics, which will be helpful for advanced level projects. This book will guide you through building hands on projects using BLE and IOT. These projects would include tracking health data using mobile App and making this data available for health practitioners, Indoor navigation, Beacons with Raspberry Pi, and Personalised Warehouse Monitoring . This book will also cover aspects of Bluetooth 5 (latest release) and what difference it would make to each of these projects. By the end of this book, you will have hands on experience on using Bluetooth Low Energy for smart automation's and projects.
