We have discovery and connection handled in v1, mostly hooked up through the settings app if you want to see an example. It's the read/write/profiles portion that's more hidden for the moment. This isn't yet using LE, which we have no support plans for in v1.0. > If we have this then for example Fitbit could write a FxOS app to > talk to their digital scales and pedometers.

While that'd be cool, remember that fitbit is having serious issues with BT4 due to scattered android platform support and is having to rollout one phone at a time: http://blog.fitbit.com/?p=665 I'm not sure if that's just fitbit's issue (I've had... things to say on their development in the past. :) ) or if it's a systemic issue, but we're a while out from having full LE support. BT4 has also been MASSIVELY flakey in all of the devices I've used it on thus far. I'd much rather have ANT for sports stuff, and we're starting to see dual radio chips appearing on the market now, but that's so far out of our product spec that it's almost off topic here. :) _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
