You must use the gateway with BLE devices.
There are two kinds of BLE devices. One kind of BLE device use
beacons to send data, e.g a BLE thermometer. Another kind of
device need to pair first, e.g. BLE smart watch.
For BLE beacon device, you can just scan the beacon and get the
data. The data is generally encrypted. It is depends on you to
decrypted the data. You can decrypt locally on the gateway or just
send the encrypted data to your cloud to decrypt there.
For BLE devices that needs to pair first, you need to know how
they can pair with the gateway. Generally this is provided by the
device maker. There are a lot of devices that accept standard
connection so you can pair without problem.
A list of compatible devices will be collected and posted here.
TBD: a list of compatible BLE device.
BLE Tools
Both GL-X750 and GL-S1300 come with OpenWrt and our BLE
tools.
In your current firmware for S1300, there may be a BLE tool which
comes with a UI. But we are further developing this and you need
to use the new BLE tool.
