Bluetooth Streaming

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible for the Fitbit Ionic to stream sensor data to a third party bluetooth device?

 

I'm trying to stream sensor data from the Ionic to a beaglebone with a bluetooth dongle. All the resources I've seen have mentioned audio connectivity and companion app streaming via bluetooth, but not much about general connectivity.

 

Can anybody help me out?

It's not possible right now, but there is already a feature suggestion about BLE API. Please feel free to upvote it.

 

Right now, what you can do is retrieving the data with a 3rd-party app. Once the data is available on the web, you can access the data by calling your web service (or downloading a file) from the companion app and using the messaging API to send the data to the Ionic. It's a bit more complex, but it's the work around you can do right now.
