Sending data from sensors via bluetooth

Hello, 

 

I want to build  quite a big project. The project is based on the group of people (all of them have fitbit watches) doing some sport in hall. What I need is to send sensors data to the computer via bluetooth (NO internet) in some time intervals (defined by me, how often). So the main question is that is there any possible solution to get the sensor`s data to a local computer via bluetooth?

 

Thank you

Hi @WoWce,

 

I've moved your question to the Device SDK forum to see if they can help answer your question about retrieving the smart watch sensor data via bluetooth.

You could acheive it like this:

 

  • Each Fitbit would need a phone, and the phone would need to be on the same wifi network as the computer.
  • Device sends sensor data via the messaging API to the companion
  • Companion receives the data using the Messaging API
  • Companion sends the data to a webserver on the local network using fetch() or websockets.
