Hey! I want to develop an app on versa lite that calculates something based on real-time heart rate and accelerometer data and sends a bluetooth signal to a raspberry pi for the raspberry pi to light an LED. Does fitbit allow access to its bluetooth signals and how can I do this in general? Thanks

Unfortunately, Fitbit devices cannot communicate directly with other Bluetooth devices. You need to use the companion to relay messages via fetch() or websockets.
